Polaroid versus Roman Photo (2012)
Variations around a photograph of Charlélie Couture and her musicians. Ruth's music that accompanies the film has nothing to do with it except that it is French and from the same period. It serves to underline the fact that the starting material is a fixed image which by the magic of cinema comes to life. If I dared, I will evoke Marguerite Duras through a quote from Laure Adler "This novel, these photos can be read like a photo novel".

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
