TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Vonia A Man and a Woman: 20 Years Later (French: Un homme et une femme, 20 ans déjà; literally A Man and a Woman, 20 Years Already) (1986) Director: Claude Lelouch Watched: 6/29/18 Rating: 5/10 Released 20 years later With same leading duo, Takes place 20 years later, We see what has changed. Ah, but we never asked to see! We liked the ending. Might be fine as stand alone, But as sequel to Superb and eloquent film That already had A fitting hopeful ending, This fares quite badly, Appearing contrived and forced- Trying to do what? To make something from nothing. Longer than the first, Less story yet more talking; Score pales in contrast, Not to mention recycled. Flashbacks to first film, Compare contrast montages. Ah, so what has changed? Man now retired from racing, Though still does for fun; Happily engaged to Girl, A very young one- Whose older sister is with Man's grown son Antoine. Woman now film producer, Married then divorced; Woman's grown daughter Françoise Tries to dress like her, An actress that works with her. Charming reunion, Affectingly bittersweet. Here things start downhill. Woman called Man- but why now? Wants to make a film, About their great love story- The best of their lives, "The one we never started." Wants his permission. He says no, but she insists. Confounding scenes show Woman's Daughter playing her. Actor playing Man Of course becomes her lover. Ah, so they relive Then watch what fate denied them. Which of course leads to A romantic overnight. Ah, this changes things. An opportune news story, Becomes replacement: Escaped serial killer Murders wife, child, Then his doctor and his wife. Woman nixes her Attempt to reproduce her Love story with Man. A little to close to home? As she begins the New serial killer film- Daughter and lover Still playing the leading roles, Man returns to Girl, Who has learned of the affair. Ah, things get weirder. During desert car rally She wants to go home. "It's the last favor I'll ask." When alone with Man, Slashes tires, cuts wires, Pours out all water. Ah, the naive young in love. Sadly, they are saved, Girl's suicide mission fails. Man goes to Woman, For happy ending at last! Reader confused yet? Was as confusing to watch. Plot aside, what's wrong? Poor editing makes chaos. Inept transitions, What was film and what was real? What was filming film And what was meant to be real? The last five minutes Redeemed the film a little- Little dialogue, Exquisite camera work, Subtly meaningful. Ah, A Man and a Woman: 20 Years is Still Too Soon. Choka (long poem) is an epic storytelling form of poetry from the Waka period, an unrhymed poem with the 5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7...7 syllable format (any odd number line length with alternating five and seven syllable lines that ends with an extra seven syllable line). #Choka #PoemReview #Sequel
michelerealini Sometimes Claude Lelouch makes good films or masterpieces, sometimes not at all.This sequel of "Un homme et une femme" is useless. It's not a bad movie in itself, because it's well acted, well made and very refined -high quality is a trademark in Lelouch movies. That's why I give 4 stars out of 10...But it's a useless project. Was it necessary to go back to the story and spoil the original picture? The 1966 film is very simple -it's a masterpiece because of that. There are only Jean-Louis Trintignant and Anouk Aimée, the chemistry is incredible. The film is really poetic, we don't want to know how their love story goes on.In the 1986 sequel we find them 20 years later -Lelouch tells us what they have become and how they meet again. There are other characters and facts which intersect with them.As I said not a really bad movie, but it doesn't stand comparison at all with the original. It would have been better not to produce it.
Claudio Carvalho Twenty years after their affair, the promoter of the Paris-Dakar race Jean-Louis Duroc (Jean-Louis Trintignant) is called by the producer Anne Gauthier (Anouk Aimée) to Paris. After producing a movie that was a complete failure in audience, Anne intends to make a movie about their love. Meanwhile, a serial killer escapes from the hospital, and is found dead, together with the wife of his doctor. "Un Homme et Une Femme" is a delightful and charming classic romantic movie. Unfortunately, director Claude Lelouche decided to make this sequel, using the same cast, twenty years later. I do not dare to say that "Un Homme et Une Femme, 20 Ans Déjà" is a bad movie. However, it kills, for example, the magnificent open end of the original movie, showing what has happened with Jean-Louis Duroc and Anne Gauthier along twenty years. Further, there is a parallel story, and many sub-plots that are completely out of the context, mixing a romantic story with a thriller and a drama. Jean-Louis Trintignant aged too much, and Anouk Aimée is still very beautiful and elegant, but the wonderful chemistry between them is completely lost. My vote is seven because there are some good points, mainly the filming of the romance of Anne and Jean-Louis, like a movie-in-a-movie.Title (Brazil): "Um Homem. Um Mulher: 20 Anos Depois" ("A Man. A Woman: 20 Years Later")
gridoon The movie begins badly, with some racing scenes that go on for so long you may start thinking you're watching a James Bond flick. Then it wastes some more time by following the characters in their everyday activities, which are of little interest. But when the couple from "A Man And A Woman' is finally reunited, Lelouch shows that he still hasn't lost his touch when it comes to quiet dialogue scenes, in which expressions speak as loudly as words. And the idea of filming a movie ABOUT the story we saw in the first movie makes for an intriguing re-examination of the original from an unusual perspective - the perspective of the fictional character who starred in it. But Lelouch still can't stay concentrated on the things that really matter, and even when he later introduces a new, completely unexpected story thread (the "adventure" in the desert), he keeps intercutting it with another film-within-a-film, which is boring and pointless. The final impression is that of a film with many good things in it, but also a whole lot of flaws. (**1/2)
