Le mystère Henri Pick

I absolutely loved this movie, from the beginning till the end. It's about a book written by Mr. Pick. A tv critic doubts the authenticity of this book, so he will investigate everything about Mr. Pick's life.

Mysterious journey into the life of a mysterious person that supposedly has written a sensational mysterious novel that has been found in a library mysterious department of shredded novels that no publishers wants to achieve and develope. a little grey litterature critique man looses his grip on life to find out who the author henri pick was.

its a well made, quite witty french kinda occupational ''crimethriller'' on the psevdonymious nature of many writers, but also the way publishers may fool the common man and woman, to read or not to read...thats the question. its well acted, and the script very well made except the main clue, how did he find the true nature of the fake, the syntax of the writer couldve been better elaborated or revealed, actually it was a special and exciting way to make a nisje, dull story become interesting , even for me the illiterate grumpy old man. so fill your grale with the wine of poetry and do have a look at this one.a recommend.

I really loved this movie from the beginning to the end. Easy going, with fine specific French humor, smells like good old times, it kept my attention all the way. Great acting too. Realy refreshing!

The storyline idea is original but the film rambles on too long to keep the attention of the viewer.

Certain outcomes are obvious but the ending is unexpected albeit a bit long winded.

Agatha Christie need not worry.

For some reason I was reminded of a song when I thought of the summary headline. If you are into R&B and Soul you may know which one I mean - but that aside, I'm bad with titles sometimes and with background checks on stories. I would assume this is a fictional story ... on the other hand - maybe it isn't? But that doesn't matter that much to me when it comes to my rating and enjoyment.

We have a book and the mystery surrounding it. So why not dive in it you ask? Well there are people involved in every book, especially family members - and then there are others who try to make some money out of things. Whether they exist or have just a place in the cemetary (no pun intended).

Suspend your disbelief and let yourself emmerge into the story - if you can do that, you will have quite some fun and suspense along the road.
