Notre jour viendra

The movie is... trash. It's short but it felt like I lost three hours of my life because the film is just stupid, boring and meaningless. I give 4 (and that's generous). If you still wanna watch it the only thing that's worth it, is maybe one or two scenes and Camille Rowe, a total beauty.

Wow! There's something innately thrilling about a film that is constantly on the verge of it's own self-destruction, of teetering on the edge of believability, and at the same time completely committed to its own madness.

Absolutely enjoyed the experience. I set out to screen Alexander Payne's 'The Descendants' at the beginning of the evening and found myself a bit depressed and bored after the first ten minutes. (Usually the ten-minute mark is the fork in the road for me.)

On the glowing advice of a workmate I decided to screen 'Our Day Will Come'. This was the pill I needed.

Gavras' hand on the wheel here is even, lucid, and in control. But the bizarre turns of events, chance meetings which either bear fruit or become deeply passionate relationships, and the film's unique shimmy all had me seduced.

Fun stuff. To be taken with laughter and not to be taken lightly. Where do we go from here, Gavras? We don't know. Take us there.

After seeing the directors music videos (I use the term music very loosely) I was looking forward to seeing this film. Expecting a certain amount of violence. Sadly it was very few and far between. Not what the trailer or cover art portrayed it to be. It's nowhere near La Haine at all. Just a sad kid trying to work out his sexuality and an older man having a midlife crisis.

It's not a terrible film though and the acting is good. Especially Vincent Cassel. But it never really satisfied and left me hoping they would totally go off the rails. Sadly. They didn't.

Worth a watch.

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

Let's say this, if one wants to watch a film that is needlessly strange and senseless then this is the film for him because otherwise he will only find himself in front of senseless confusion without a real plot, indeed, there is a plot and it takes only halfway through the film and without a real meaning, even at the beginning it would like to have a plot and also have a moral, instead it only manages to give the spectator a terrible and terrible confusion without rhyme or reason, which is why I believe that this film is almost a waste of time.

The two lead characters were supposed to have Red Hair, one is blonde and the other is brunette. Pointless wasting trime on this garbage.
