Girl_Lie

I wanted to see this one, because I was curious to see Axelle Red in a movie. I didn't know much more about this movie. She didn't have the main role after all. The movie was not disappointing, but maybe a bit superficial. I think it was quit original, the script. In the beginning you don't know anything about "Ellektra". Step by step... you start to realize that the whole movie is about "life" and it 's disappointments. When I saw it I recognized some typical themes (used more often in Belgian movies): the drug problems, the corruption, the depressions, a fighting family over custody, ... . Everything is seen from a pessimistic perspective, but in the end there is always a certain "light"... I liked the colors and the purity of the images, for example the cold blue bath room and living room, the deep green of the house with the plants, the red and black that surrounds the striptease-girl with her pale skin, the black of the musicians (pianist and DJ), the white hair of the DJ 's girlfriend ... The girl with the blue hair is great, she made me think about someone who doesn't fit in the whole...People are after her, but it seems like she has a lot more power and insight in life than the loser who wants to get her. There is a lot of strength and courage in the movie... people with dreams of making music, being an actress, becoming a pilot. Eventually these dreams become "realized" in a way, that is maybe even more worth the living... Living your life becomes more intense if you cannot realize your highest goals. If you not make an end to it, you (have to) start to compensate and to realize that to be lucky you don't have to go beyond your powers... The movie is full of circles... one big circle and many little things that happen to people and then to others...
