Sharp LC52LE820X Quattron 52" Full HD LED-LCD TV. © Daniel Bruce (Do you need a bio break?) For DVD the local edition is fine.Ī light drama / comedy from France with a somewhat challenging plot. This film is available in the UK in the same format and there are Blu-ray editions available but not locally. Non-R4 releases, your equipment needs to be multi-zone compatible and usually I was disappointed there were no scene selections available. The film does not lend itself to a bombastic home theatre experience. A better than average DVD soundtrack which does a good job with the material. Dialogue is generally clear and easy to understand. There is lots of nice surround atmosphere which enhances the viewing experience. There are two audio options, French Dolby Digital 5.1 and a 2.0 alternative. There are English subtitles available which are clear and easy to read, although there are quite a lot of typographical errors such as not being able to spell 'crepe' every time it appears. Technically it is 16x9 enhanced at the OAR of 1.85:1. Generally, the video quality is everything you would expect from a modern DVD. At times the backgrounds are somewhat undefined and mild motion blur crops up here and there. The video quality is very good for DVD with nice sharpness, great colours for the beaches, mountains and landscapes of Corsica and very good shadow detail. This is a well-made film but doesn't set the world on fire.ĭon't wish to see plot synopses in the future? Change your configuration. The musical score supports the film well and the production is generally of high quality with a good cast. The film is great to look at as the landscapes of Corsica are shown off to great effect with the mountains and beaches looking wonderful. Le Lann does quite a good job of representing the two sides of sex kitten and confused little girl which make up the character of Louna. Cassell and Isaaz are probably the pick of the cast members, both showing restraint, with Cluzet getting a little too broad at times. However, perhaps due to the subject matter, it never really comes across as a comedy. This film is played for light drama and moments of comedy especially as the pent-up Antoine gets carried away with trying to stop wild boars invading his garden and find out who touched his precious daughter. Will Antoine and Marie find out what is going on and what will the consequences be? As they all relax and enjoy themselves, Louna starts to flirt with Laurent, eventually pushing him into sex. Soon however, they realise some of their friends are also in Corsica and start to go out and hit parties and discos. The girls immediately start to complain about the house with its rustic charms, lack of wi-fi or mobile phone coverage. Antoine is quite pent-up as a father focused on protecting his little girl, the divorced Laurent on the other hand takes a more liberal view. He is accompanied by Louna and by his best friend, Laurent ( Vincent Cassell) and Laurent's slightly older teenage daughter, Marie ( Alice Isaaz). He and his wife are struggling with their relationship and as his wife will not join them, he decides to go to his family home in Corsica for a summer break. Antoine ( Francois Cluzet) grew up in Corsica but now lives in Paris with his wife and 17 and a half year old daughter, Louna ( Lola Le Lann). The story is a little different to the original film, updated for the times. Accordingly, I will focus on talking about the film. I am not proposing to make this review a discussion of the morals or otherwise of this subject. Some will find the subject matter of this film distasteful, involving a young girl (not quite 18) having a sexual relationship with the father of her best friend (who is also her father's best friend).

He makes a pretty good fist of this lighter material, especially by his choice of Vincent Cassel in a lead role, who usually plays more violent and disturbing characters. This remake of Berri's 1977 film was directed by Jean-Francois Richet who is probably better known for action thrillers. He won an academy award for his short in 1966, Le Poulet. This one is known in English as One Wild Moment but is also called The Father of my Best Friend in other languages.Ĭlaude Berri is probably best known for being the screenwriter of Jean De Florette and Manon De Sources but also for producing Best Film nominee, Tess. Both films have the same title in French, Un moment d'egarement. This 2015 French film is a remake of a 1977 French film written and directed by Claude Berri, one of the better known writers, producers and directors in French cinema.
