Jacques Audiard is our regular, changing his style in many of his films. Après avoir signed the notament prison thriller (Prophet)melodrama (De rouille et d’os) and it’s a western (Brothers sisters), le cinéaste français explores these codes of musical comedy, advertising and flirting with gangster films and memes soap opera.
The result is amazing! Featuring a daring mise-en-scène that features a variety of sublime pieces of music, Audiard was met with sheer pleasure and delivered a great cinematic moment. To compensate for the prize for female interpretation at the last Cannes festival, actresses Zoe Saldaña, Carla Sofia Gascón and Selena Gomez illuminate the film in the colors of the performances “Poissantes et Bouleversantes”. Possibly an Oscar nomination coming up.
Note: 4.5/5.
