I just saw two very good movies back to back. I always enjoy it to ‘discover’ movies I had never heard about before. As I go there with no expectations I am rarely disappointed. First we went to the Flix festival in Darwin yesterday to watch the latest Claude Lelouch movie entitled ‘Roman De Gare’. What a plot!? I have always been a bit wary of Lelouch and don’t remember actually liking any of his movies. It’s probably due to the fact that I went to watch ‘Les Uns et Les Autres’ when it came out and let me tell you it was a real torture for a 12 year old kid. Maybe I would appreciate it now but I can’t face the idea of watching it again. As a result, ‘Roman De Gare’ came as real revelation. I would never have suspected it was a Lelouch movie.
Tonight was a completely different atmosphere, far from the twists and actions of yesterday’s flick. ‘The Band’s Visit’ is an amazing account of an Egyptian musical police band lost in a desolate Israeli town. It is based on a true story and I decided on it simply on the ground of the last lines of the synopsis: “Not many people remember this story, It was not that important”. I knew I would be in for a special story indeed!
