NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Vinicius Andrade Dans la Mansion has a very captivating plot and it's very difficult to not get involved right away. Its interesting development and storytelling combined with artistic references bring a distinction to the picture, besides having a break of linearity which makes the movie quite unpredictable and unexpected. Fabrice Luchini is German, a literature teacher who is resigned with his present life, but with the arrival of one student, Claude García, and his talent in writing, shake his life, making him feel alive and feel like as if he was accomplishing already forgotten and distant dreams through his student. Fabrice has a good performance, even being active and important in the progress of the story, sometimes felt like he also was a spectator, the change of personality as he was reading Claude's texts, his actions and thoughts began to get influenced and impacted by his student's essays. Ernst Umhauer as Claude is the highlight of the film, he's amazing as he created such compelling character that is so intriguing and mysterious. The scenes which Claude is in as both narrator and character has a certain prominence to show both an influence among narrator-character as character-narrator. When it deconstruct and give a new perspective to a scene already presented due this unusual dialogue, the picture assimilates with the creation of a artistic work as the author changes his project as a result of influences around him. In addition of creating an uncertainty of what really happened considering the puzzling distinction between fiction and reality.

Bene Cumb This awkward and witty film is based on the play The Boy in the Last Row by Juan Mayorga, i.e. the script emanates from a solid creation. The run of the events is smooth, but sometimes it is tricky to follow the line between truth and fantasy, including the ending scenes, and some deeds remained mystery to me. In spite of serious topics touched (e.g. alienation, growing pains, loneliness, generation gaps), there are several funny scenes, particularly gallery-related ones, and strong performances provide additional value to the film (Fabrice Luchini as Germain Germain, Ernst Umhauer (skilfully depicting an 16-year-old while being 22) as Claude Garcia, Kristin Scott Thomas (in fluent French) as Jeanne Germain, Emmanuelle Seigner as Esther Artole - in particular). Hopefully, no remake will be made, as the sound of French and supposition of Frenchmen are just appropriate for such a film.Recommended to all those fond of films with twists and not afraid of subtitles.

kosmasp A wicked little movie that tries to brake boundaries and more than the fourth wall. It raises up a lot of questions and puts up the mirror to a lot of things, while continuously being funny and wicked at the same time. A hilarious attempt at describing what Art means nowadays or how we try to interpret it. Maybe even how we try to create it.There is more than one story strand in this movie and they all get at least somewhat explored. And while some of those strands may feel like a cliché, the head on approach make them feel like a fresh take on it. You have to have an open mind about the movie and the way it is shot and told, but if you can do that, you might be able to enjoy this very much. Multiple views can also bring up new and exciting things you might not have seen first time around. Whatever the case, I can recommend this to anyone who wants to be intellectually challenged by watching a movie.

Ken-241-911501 Without getting as wordy as some and giving away a bunch of plot details and quirky turns... How often do you see a flick and before it's even over tell yourself you absolutely must see it again? I've already seen In The House twice and can't wait to see it again, because I just figured out the major trick (rather a mindf--k) of it...and I'm not telling. The person I first saw it with agreed he had to see it again, too, and the person with whom I just saw it (May 22, 2013 in San Francisco) said she needed to buy the DVD as soon as it came out, so she could keep on showing it to more people and get into discussions about it. Not only that, the couple sitting in front of us were knocked out by it...and actually the guy had already seen it and had to see it again, so he brought a lady friend, who right after the film ended said, "OMG! I have to see this again!" And trust me, so will you. Now let's hope the U.S. doesn't decide they have to make an American version and totally wreck it, like they did with the excellent Danish film, Brothers (Brødre, 2004) with that godawful U.S. thing released in 2009. Leave it alone, please.
