There's so much more in the movie other than simple suspense; a Guédiguian film is never so easily spoiled as that!TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-46165169375351552912010-09-15T22:19:46.710-04:002010-09-15T22:19:46.710-04:00....never answered!

Shoud you see it, please weigh in with your opinion. I'd love to know what you think of it. <br /><br />If given the opportunity to see a film by Guédiguian, I can never resist. But then I especially enjoy and appreciate his socialist slant.TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-72901184014699429652010-08-19T22:24:36.799-04:002010-08-19T22:24:36.799-04:00You point to a universal theme indeed - what would...You point to a universal theme indeed - what would you and I do under vicious occupation? Cooperation to preserve privilege? Resist at the risk of life, not only of oneself but others, including family? Or cowardly mute acquiescence, the safe but shameful route? With such draconian penalties for being found out, it's no wonder that those brave or foolhardy enough to resist are few. If this film is a convincing cliff hanger of that kind, replete with pungent characterisation, it would be a must see. But you imply it advances to a foregone conclusion, so perhaps it lacks some of that tension. But the approaching claustrophobic panic, and the moral dilemma, would still be gripping. Yes, sounds like a must see.ALhttp://scienceguardian.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-67513196910457963832010-08-17T22:04:43.766-04:002010-08-17T22:04:43.766-04:00Thanks, Anon -- I will post this post-haste!Thanks, Anon -- I will post this post-haste!TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-5852036577376946192010-08-17T18:10:50.770-04:002010-08-17T18:10:50.770-04:00The film is also playing at NYC's Jewish Commu...The film is also playing at NYC's Jewish Community Center in Manhattan (76th Street & Amsterdam Ave) for those looking for an uptown location 8/21-8/26.<br /><br />jccfilm.org for tickets/timesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
