Rock'n Roll

I went into this film in Sydney with very little in the way of expectations. I found it extremely funny, and Canet is extremely self depreciating throughout the film as he looks as his life as an elder statesman of French cinema. The film is very funny, and excels in revealing the nuances of French cinema through Canet and his wife Marion Cotillard. I felt that it definitely could have been about half an hour shorter, so could have done with tighter editing perhaps. However, if you want a feel-good film look no further. Allez Canet.

The trailer was fun and engaging, I was really keen to see this film. It started well, there was a good and fun concept behind it, the actors were great (and French royalty!). And then, it went to "n'importe quoi" (rubbish). I'm not sure where the direction or moral the story was trying to go, but it became hard to watch. I expected a good laugh, an enjoyable movie, and instead it disappointed me. A shame.

Great comedy Poor Guillaume, he just can't accept that he's in mid 40s !

Poor Marion, she has to put up with Guillaume becoming weirder and weirder !

Music is great !

French rock legend, late Johnny Hallyday cameo is wonderful !

The first half of the movie is a good midlife crisis, but the second half is unnecessary.

Ironic perspective about middle age crisis, great French actors - and not only french, humor, lovely Marillon Cotillard and Guillaume Canet as a mix of Ken and hulk, large zones of parody, pure satire about cinema industry and men or women feeling not so...rock.

The fun is basic purpose . And the nice acting gives, scene by scene, new prooves for this.

A good point - the meeting between Ben Fosse and Guillaume Canet.

Bizarre , maybe awful, the transformation ( sure , you know to be a question of prosthetics but... ).

In short, easy comedy in essence, with few good sparkles about immaturity, love, family and exces to save apparences - career.
