The writer/director has his favorites, and when they match with yours, all's well; if not, not. I think some other reviewers would you agree with you regarding Klapisch's not placing enough trust in his own audience.TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-26485834544735632602009-09-15T20:03:53.346-04:002009-09-15T20:03:53.346-04:00The movie was quite enjoyable, but I wish some rel...The movie was quite enjoyable, but I wish some relationships and characters were better flushed out and stories lines moved along a little faster. Some events that eventually happened were quite predictable well before they happened... my criticism is that it seemed to take Klapisch a while to get there. He should trust his audience better to know that we were going to already know what was going to happen with some of the characters. By doing this he could then get to that conclusion faster and further focus on other story lines and character development. For example, the brother's story was one of the more interesting bits to me, I wanted more of him and to learn more of his history and wants and less of the architect. However Klapisch's focus was more attune to the architect than anything else. A little disappointing because I think Duris had much to offer in the role of the brother.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127066498713308348noreply@blogger.com
