Novembre :
Margot at the Wedding - Baumbach (2007)
Few boring - and unclear and unnecessary - sequences. The process of the story more generally is awesome. With some bergmanian scenes at the end. Complementary actresses.
The Royal Tenenbaums - Anderson
.***
As Good as it Gets -
.Nicholson as a neurotic writer getting cured thanks to an eccentric waitress.
////
Décembre :
Les Chansons d'Amour - Honoré
.***
De Battre Mon Coeur S'est Arreté - Audiard
.**
Alien - Scott
.**
Don Jon - Gordon-Levitt
.**
Jaws - Spielberg
.*
///
Janvier :
The Last Temptation of Christ -
.** Strong moments between Jésus and Judas, and Jésus and Madeleine. The first speeches of Jésus are ridiculous though.
Casse-tête chinois - Klapish
.*
Nymphomaniac - Trier
.** Beautiful construction of a tryptic at the end of the first-part, between three kind of lovers which each of them being compared to a 'voice' in classical beethoven chorus.
Wolf of Wall Street - Scorcesse
.** Funnier than expected. Johan Hill is hilarious.
Fruitvale Station -
Such a caricature of the nice and way-to-perfect black guy dominated in a white-dominant society. So many clichés that it becomes grotesque.
In The Soup -
.*
Les derniers jours du monde - Larrieu
** Better than expected. Cleary a houellebecq-like movie. Awesomely well organized for such a complex and hard-to-believe story.
L'amour est un crime presque parfait - Larrieu
Pointless and annoying.
La fille du 14 juillet -
.** Fresh and burlesque. Lots of funny gags we don't see anymore. Globally annoying after the first - and surprising - 20 minutes.
2 automnes, 3 hivers - Betbeder
.
Un monde sans femmes - Brac
.
12 years a slave - McQueen
Very far from the intensity and complexity of the first two movies. McQueen didn't write the script and it's obvious.
Somebody Up There Likes Me - Byington
Indie american comedy (produced by Why Not). Usual trouble of that kind of movie: good ideas and fantastic actors but the script isn't dynamic enough not to get bored at the end.
Jeune et Jolie - Ozon
.**
///
Février :
Bancs publics - Podalydès
.* Even worst than I'd remember.
Le vent se lève - Myazaki
.**
Her - Spike Jonze
.**
Liar Liar -
.* Jim Carrey, a talented lawer, can't lie. A remarriage comedy.
It's Kind of a Funny Story - Fleck
.**
Jeanne et le garçon formidable -
Awesome songs. Ledoyen's magnificent.
Grand Budapest Hotel - Wes Anderson
A pure pleasure to watch.

Mars :
Guillaume et les garçons - Galienne
Pathetic. How is that considered as 'a movie'?
9 mois ferme - Dupontel
Not one single funny scene. Clichés only.
Dallas Buyers Club - Vallé (2013)
***
Ce qu'il restera de nous - Macaigne (2011)

Avril :
Gerontophilia - LaBruce
. **
Computer Chess - Bujalski (2013)
.***
Your Sister's Sister - Shelton (2011)
.*** Less and less interesting. But awesome first part.
Humpday - Shelton (2009)
. **** The exact application of Your Sister's sister to another topic. Three characters, the confusion between homo and heterosexuality. And, of course: what does the question of having a child imply concerning commitment in a relationship?
The Descendants - Payne (2011)
.**
Beau-père - Blier (1981)
.**
//
Mai :
Oslo 31 August - Trier (2011)
**** It is not, as it is said, a film about the "last day of a drug addict": much more than that, it's the day of a guy who's decided to commit suicide. The result is awesome: characters explaining how rubbish their lives are, the unimportance of partying etc.
Reprise - Trier (2006)
*** Very similar to “Les amitités maléfiques”: two young writers, the most talented one is too crazy to achieve a proper “work”, the second his humble, an hard-worker and will through exile will find himself.
Me And You And Everyone We Know - July (2005)
.**
The Future - July (2011)
.
Husbands and Wives - Allen (1992)
.***
Godzilla -
.** Not that bad for a blockbuster
