Blanche Comme Neige

Always liked to see or read modern version of old tales.I expect mystery,playfulness,humour,surprise...

Thé idea of a modern Snow White,thé begining on the pure beautiful face of Lou de Laage in contrast with thé classic and somehow desperate elegance of Isabelle Huppert,seemed promising.

What a disappointement !!The only thing that keeps going is a Snow White asserting her freedom in non convincing sex -scenes,with men that have to seem lost and inconsistent in ordre to satisfy a bad-feminist cliché.(so sorry for Poelveerde that does his best to save his dwarf charecter that is realy funny). Not to mention thé wonderful Isabelle Huppert that can not express any real « step-mother feelings » because thé scenario is so poor and thé directing so linear.

Sorry to say but this modern story is just a set of old cliches.

Everybody knows the tale, and some writer have made wonderful work with it: Some innovative, some sweet, some captivating... This version has nothing to bring to us. There are formidable actors like Vincent Macaigne, Benoît Poelvoorde (this two reach are the only good work about the movie) and Isabelle Huppert (she couldn't do much I think since her role is without any emotion or extravagance), and the director fault in creating something. The only thing that kept me seeing the movie till the end is the actress Lou de Laâge, not for her work that was poorly executed (maybe because of the director, I don't know), but because of her naked (I'm a simple man) and to see if she had sex with all the "seven dwarves". It's not the best compliment we can do to an actress or a movie... She's beautiful but never expressed the "purity" that everyone talks about on the movie. The sex scenes are there without bringing any intensity or something new to the plot or characters. It could have so much passion, emotions, etc, but nothing there... This movie could be great on so many levels, it fails on everything unfortunately.

My wife and I enjoyed this modern and artistic retelling of the classic fairy tale. Lou de Laâge is vivacious, young and beautiful as Snow White. Isabelle Huppert was believable as the wicked step mother. The dwarfs were sexual conquests for Snow. Great idea. Would love to see more from these writers and director Anne Fontaine: Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, etc.

Great movie. First what I've said, after I finished watchig, was: "It's like a choleretic agent, but for a someone's soul".

Really bad! I fell asleep for 30 minutes Nothing happens
