Valutazione di schogger13
This movie unjustly suffers mostly from clichés heaped upon it.
It's a Welsh Twin Peaks parody, they say. Too Welsh to be funny - not enough Twin Peaks to work in the end.
In short: This movie is a victim of false expectations.
Yes, there are certain similarities if one spends the whole time comparing, but that does this movie great injustice. The few 'blatant' takes on Welsh culture clichés take NOTHING away from its positive charme - except for nit-picking Welsh viewers, perhaps. To 'foreign' viewers it's a convincing fresco of provincial life, as well as a Chabrol movie seems to non-French viewers. The Twin Peaks connection exists only on a formalistic plane.
Call me stupid, but I feel that this has a far more honest and less pretentious appeal than said cult hyper-soap. Give it a chance. It's more than the sum of your pre-conceptions.

This is a masterpiece. Nothing more - nothing less. Closed minds will call this film boring, slow and... cold.
Forget all such preconceptions. Prepare for a love story of a different kind. This is a lesson in detail, subtlety and refinement. Watch it and forget the Hollywood code of instant gratification.
Learn to flow with another pace and the almost extinct art of gentleness, honest passion and subtlety.
Almost nothing 'happens' in this movie, and all the time everything happens in one's mind. A gesture. A look. A movement. Nothing is without reason. Everything is charged towards the thresholds of pain, relief, regret and still hope.
This is an achingly beautiful movie.

Let's face it, there are movies which stick, no matter how times change, no matter what's the latest fad in technology to avoid the strain of storytelling, no matter how 'in' or 'out' a genre currently is.
This one's a classic in the only valid sense of the word.
I won't lose many words on the contents. Others have done that admirably, already. Just this: A plane crashes in the desert, and someone devises the outrageous plan to build a new plane from the wreckage. A simple stroke of genius. THE 'disaster movie'. Top notch actors and performances down to the smallest part.
A character play of the solid traditional kind. Don't EVER underestimate the power of good storytelling and acting!
This 'simple' movie easily de-classifies 99% of the current Hollywood output. Flight Of The Phoenix is a gem from the all-time precious handful of real classics, defying every rule from the ivory tower critics.
I bet my life on this: FotP won't disappoint you on whatever level.
Give it a chance and take a ride on the firebird.
