remembering the good things!

a great film! such a dark subject photographed in coloured pictures. i loved this rich detailed film without the expected stereotypes and a touching lovestory. it´s sad but it isn´t hopeless. the actors are so convincing and you start thinking about a disease you thought only old people could get. brilliant, that i hadn´t have the feeling of being voyeuristic! SEE IT: and think about it.

A very good and touching story.

The cases of Alzheimer disease in senior people are quite known (we have the famous film "Still Alice with Julianne Moore), but in this film Claire Poussin, a quite young feels the first symptomes of this terrible disease and we shall follow her in her life. A brilliant film, a touching story. The performances of Isabelle Carré and Bernard Campan are really excellent. Thank you very much, Zabou Breitman for this very touching story.

Depressing

Saw this together with my wife. After 40 minutes, wife wanted to walk out. No, I said, it must get better. It didn't. By the end, you just want to stick your head in the oven. It's so depressing. No doubt dementia and amnesia are horrible things, but that's exactly why making a movie around them is a zero on the entertainment scale.

C'est extraordinaire: plein de beauté, amour, psychologie, et realité, mais attention, un peu deprimant.

Se Souvenir des Belles Choses: i can only even begin to describe the greatness of this movie and the impact it has made in mind. After months of anticipation, i saw this film in Richmond, Virginia, as a part of the 11th annual VCU French Film Festival at the Byrd Theatre. Warning: i cried for a good 45 minutes.

This is not to say the film was depressing. It was simply so moving.

With Isabelle Carré portraying the lead in brilliant form, Se Souvenir des Belles Choses (lit.: To Remember Beautiful Things) offers a truly amazing view into the world of mental hospitals, specifically dealing with memory loss and Alzheimer's patients. Two of these patients share a heartbreaking love story when symptoms worsen and improve.

Technically speaking, the film is a masterpiece. Do your best to see this one.

Still - or already - Alzheimer disease

You can of course prefer STILL ALICE, satrring Julianne Moore, concerning Alzheimer disease. It is better done, more powerful, more in every domain, every element, but that doesn't diminish the quality of this cute and sensitive French drama, where Isabelle Carré does her very best, and is convincing too. So, please don't despise it. You can watch or re watch STILL ALICE again and them compare, I am surre you will appreciate both. Don't worry. It is sad of course, but also beautiful, moving, pulled by excellent performances. One of best Isabelle Carré's roles, especially the best of her early career.
