When Berlinale Closes, It'll Be Kind, and Rewind

by Monika Bartyzel

Sometimes I wish I had a large, waiting-to-be-used stash of money that would allow me to go to every film festival that caught my fancy. The other option would be to convince a patron of each fest to wear a mini camera on their lapel, but that would be,...

It's odd to me that people seem to be missing what I believe is a critical point about the obese person in the film. Maybe you had to stay to the end of the film to realize it, but the obese person, ... the war refugees, the stroke victim -- these are all very important to the essence of the film's message. KST's character could not forgive herself for bringing a child into the world who got sick. Her inability to accept this "imperfection" is what led her to such a tragic act. In my reading, the film is intentionally filled with people who have, at one time or another, been considered less than fully human by society. And yet they are living fully engaged lives, loved and accepted by the people around them as they are. It is this acceptance of those all around her -- and the loving acceptance she receives from her sister -- that finally gets through to Juliette. That and --spoiler alert-- the fact that the policeman kills himself. I think at that point she sees two choices and goes for the hopeful, accepting one. Full Review

I normally do not write movie reviews, however, this was an exceptional film. To say that it was anything less than poignant and deeply emotional, as well as well-written and extremely well-acted is ... to insult the entire art. That said, I feel the need to respond to some of the previous reviewer's statements. FIrst, there is a single 'obese' person in the film. She is in one (two if I'm mistaken) scenes. Furthermore, there is no agenda here promoting obesity. There is only two or three scenes in which food is even present. The characters smoke and drink coffee constantly, which, last time I checked, does not a fatty make. Second, the child's acting is superb. However, we no longer use the term oriental as it is incredibly offensive. Full Review

Seriously, I tried. I did. I absoutely adore Kristin Scott Thomas, so I tried to convince myself that there was something deeper going on---something deeper than the two-dimensional, incongruous char... acters doing incongruous things---something which, hopefully before the last possible moment, might make me glad I stayed for such a pathetically transparent, politically-correct hatefest... with French subtitles. Evidently, the French Ministry for the Advancement of Obesity must've had a stake in it, since virtually everyone in the movie (with the notably happy exception of the seven main characters) was morbidly obese and, of course, exceptionally kind, mature and intelligent. A crying shame, though, watching KST's normally-heartbreakingly incredible abilities wasted on such pathetic dreck. Fact is, if it weren't for the precocious little oriental girl's astonishing ability to actually MAKE SOMETHING with the incorrigibly-happy cliche the writers dumped on her---I'd have left.....much earlier than I did. As it was, I made it through almost 90 minutes (of what I assume must be the French version of water-boarding) before I collected my ten bucks worth of popcorn and coke and snuck out. I'll give it one star for the little girl....who should get five stars on her own. Re. KST: I'll give her a pass on this one and assume the producer or director or casting agent or somebody had some particularly damning dirt on her. Really, I can't imagine anything other than blackmail which might have moved her to make such a singularly horiible movie. Full Review
