"Do not Disturb" : un remake raté


Two friends, Ben and Jeff, are found after long lost sight of. The first (Yvan Attal) leads a quiet life with work, wife (Laetitia Casta) and child during the manufacture. The second (Cluzet) demonstrated another conformism. Artist backpacker, it remains glued to its ideals of young man and runs the world, and women without thinking of tomorrow. Following a drunken night, the accomplices began a challenge: turn a pornographic movie together, just to disturb precisely lifestyle hetero-normalized which they are each used. Disturb or not to disturb, so: that is the question that bothers Yvan Attal seems to have the prospect of achieving Do not Disturb, his third feature film. Because the pact forged the two main characters is another challenge, just as perilous one for Attal, to adapt French American independent film, Humpday (2008), Lynn Shelton. By this yardstick, the English title has chosen for his film Attal value of admission: Above all, do not change anything. If it is a more traditional staging, relieved shaky plans and other flirtations "indie" Original, Do not Disturb is a decal disaster Humpday. Cluzet the same beard and wears the same headgear as his model, played by Joshua Leonard, Yvan Attal while was allowed to keep the name of his alter ego Yankee, Ben. The embarrassment of the protagonists U.S. emphasized tower "like", "fuck" and "and stuff", expressed here through turns balourdes, "OK", "totally" or "you know," repeated loop like to find a solution to the impasse that emerges gradually. Because it is the same vanity that joint efforts are rewarded the film and its heroes are all sadly true to their original self. Indecisive, they translate (vague memories, timid desires), but do not betray. In this context stunted, we take the liberty to hear the title as a warning to viewers: do not bother.

"Reality," the chaos of reality


PARIS - The dream loft television Italians to chaos in "Reality", Matteo Garrone's Grand Prix at Cannes Film Festival, released Wednesday in room. Neapolitan slice fairly conventional, "Reality" follows a smala modest but joyful, led by a father boastful, fishmonger and entertainer in his time, until he ran for a TV reality show. The "Grande Fratello", a kind of "loft" in Italian, the winner promises wealth provided it supports coexistence with other candidates, all penned under the eye of cameras intrusive. Luciano, who spent the cast heartedly and to please her children, eventually no longer live and survive in the hope of joining. "For many now, the reality that has become the new Eldorado," explained Matteo Garrone in Cannes, speaking of "a fable, a kind of disillusionment." The director, who had already won the 2008 Grand Prix at Cannes for "Gomorra", otherwise more serious and violent, explores another aspect of Italian society. But it is forbidden "for any criticism" against his country: "This story is a fable, a kind of disillusionment." One of the original film is to have a long sentence for inmate principal actor. Aniello Arena in prison for 18 or 19 years (he is serving a life sentence after a bloody settling of accounts), won permission from a judge to join every day shooting, but "no one to come to Cannes , "said Matteo Garrone. Arena began an acting career in 2001 in the prison of Volterra, Province of Pisa, which was founded over 20 years the Compagnia della Fortezza, led by director Armando Punzo which the has since played in many of his pieces. Armando Punzo for, working with him for 11 years, "Arena is a quiet boy." "It is not at all outgoing, not fluff it ... But when it happens on stage, something happens, it is completely transformed. This is an incredibly changing player, he can do everything from Hamlet Alice in Wonderland.
