Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Antoine J. Bachmann WARNING number 1: spoilers! WARNING number 2: do NOT waste your time watching this!I chanced upon this film on TV - I would never have imagined to purposedly go watch it, or pay per view.So what do we have here: an average guy leads an average life. Then this average life changes for the worst, his place of work gets flooded, his wife falls in love with his best friend, you name it. At which point he gets sucked up into another dimension, and lands in a primitive world where a cliché primitive tribe suffer under the rule of a tyrant, and are awaiting a Savior. And of course, tell him that he is that Saviour.Then we have to go through TONS of clichés of the genre, be it the films where the hero switches between two realities, or films where an unassuming hero is asked to be the Saviour, or films about primitive tribes, you name it. The tribesmen "talk funny", they "dress funny", there's lots of pathetic cliché jokes, the Saviors says "leaves me alone", they say, "you have to fulfil the Prophecy", and so on. He gets cocky, runs into trouble, you know how it goes. The tribe love him so they send a half-dozen half-naked girls for his enjoyment, and so on.All this while having to withstand Poelvoorde's pretty poor acting, basically he is one of those actors who always act their own persona, i.e. are not really actors but always give you the same product, with the same clichés, the same tone of voice, the same body movements. You see Poelvorde in one film, you've seen him in all his films. I think that's the definition of not really being a great actor.And then the cliché continues: as he gains confidence in the other dimension, this starts reflecting in his real life. He drops a job he has grown to hate. He hits his wife's lover, a cliché Argentinian (apparently they're supposed to only think about stealing your wife, but they also totally lack any courage, and whine as soon as they suffer the tiniest scratch), and everyone is surprised to suddenly see him being so manly. Then he meets another woman, who of course is charming, and loves art, his pursuit.Then he has to return to the tribe universe to win the war. And he is made king and all. But soon the people tire of him because he has become cocky (another big cliché here).And then he must return once more to kill the giant tyrant. And then when he expects that he's going to be fine after this victory, the tribesmen want to eat him to celebrate (the cliché being that all primitive tribesmen are cannibals, of course, of course). And as they hunt and then want to kill him, his other self, back in his own reality, enters suspended life. Think The Matrix, 13th Floor, and many, many other films.But of course he gets saved just in time. Of course.And then he has two women, and of course the non-wife elegantly leaves the scene. And of course the wife wants him back, he first says no I've been hurt too much, she says it was just a short-lived mistake, and all ends well.BOTTOM-LINE is we have a film drowned in tons of clichés, many of which pretty pathetic, and a scenario that scores ZERO on originality, while the script is poor and thus many of the dialogues are just unbearable. And that's before I mention the acting - there is no real acting at all. What about it being a comedy? I think if you're a brute, or a bit drunk, then perhaps there are three decent jokes altogether. The ONLY positive in this mess, is that the photography is often quite elegant, even if they overdid it on hues and saturation to better mark the parallel reality, just in case the spectator got too bored and forgot which was which?
jotix100 Remy, an art restorer, is going through a rough patch in his life, as well as in his business. Lucile, his attractive wife, drops a bomb, as she tells him she is seeing a business associate, Antoine, and wants to leave him. In part, Remy has brought it on himself with the way he always questioned Lucile whether she was seeing Antoine Geller.At the same time, Remy begins experiencing strange vibes he does not have a clue where they are coming from. When his children accidentally flood the studio where a lot of art is being restored, his creditors begin to go after him. Slowly, he is transported into an ancient world he did not believe existed. In his own 'real' world, Remy is a sort of a loser, but in the tribal ancient civilization, he is deemed to be a sort of savior, something that is so far fetched from his reality.Daniel Cohen, the writer and director of this mildly funny French comedy, tries to juxtapose two different kinds of personalities, one a man that has always been taken advantage of, even by his own family, and a leader the ancients see in him. The film showcases Belgian comic actor Benoit Poelvoorde, a funny man whose kind of comedy is subtle, and never in one's face. For all appearances he is a loser, but he has inner resources to face adversity.
laurent History of a genius by a genius writer. Our hero switches, beyond his will, from our world to another dimension, where he is hailed as the messiah. How will this average man build a new personality to take on the challenge? A genius is the one who comes back from another world to speak to us. With this script, the director has managed to become one. And what a joy to see Benoit Poolvorde demonstrates once again how great an actor he is. There is in Benoit, and in this movie, flamboyance, humor, creativity, emotion, realism and everything needed to end up with a perfect story. But beware: to understand the movie and experience its greatness, you have to become the hero yourself. Only once you fully accept it could happen to you, will everything come to light.
abisio Les Deux Mondes is another intelligent French comedy, this times using fantastic elements (like multi dimension traveling) but mostly interested on human behavior and social acceptance. Remy, (the outstanding and always restrained Benoît Poelvoorde) is a common passive person. He works as an art restaurateur, but expend most of his time taking care of his kids while his wife (one of those big idealist) is trying to save the world, traveling around with a handsome doctor, but forgetting his family completely. In a different universe, a tribe under slavery is conjuring magic to get the great wizard who will defeat and kill the giant king terrorizing them and free them. Yes, as you probably imagined, Remy is the great wizard and savior. Traveling from one world to the other constantly, Remy has to deal with his upcoming divorce (his wife is leaving him for the handsome doctor), his kids, and his debtors and try to learn how to defeat another army and become king of a tribe. He even buys some gym equipment and start eating special proteins to create some muscle. Up to this moment, there is some kind of déjà vu in the story, but suddenly (after the enemy tribe is defeated), things get an unexpected turn and Remy has to re-think about his new personality. By the end, the movie does not quite follows the American's politically correct rule of moral endings.The technicall aspects are quite good, including some original and very funny FX.In brief, a very original comedy; but deeper than you may think.
