Drei Tage und ein Leben

An engaging movie about the ironies of life, especially the life of one Antoine who lives in a northern French village. Antoine is the character whose life of predicaments holds this story together, and he is well-played by two actors, Jeremy Senez as the younger version and Pablo Pauly as the grown-up one. We feel for Antoine and want to be on his side, and the actors manage to make him sympathetic. The scenes that took place during the historic winter storm of 1999 were brilliantly shot.

A boy killed a dog and a small boy then his rest of life became painful even he didn't caught in police... Excellent photography and casting...!

The forest shown in beautiful way.. Must watch movie..!

This is a very good thriller, immersive from the first minute, but also with a heart. And especially with an amazing twist in the end, that almost brought tears in my eyes and that may hit home for anyone. With a single word, it rewrites the story, the film, it even shifts the role of main character to another one. I was also pleased to see Sandrine Bonnaire and Charles Berling again, but young Pablo Pauly was the main attraction. Please note I love good American thrillers and don't like European dramas too much, so don't be deterred from seeing this Belgian film just because it's European; it is is a lesson of writing, shooting and acting.

Another story that has been scripted many many times, but which fortunately stands out favorably for its pace and the intricacy of the problems that the main protagonist will face. Simple, but effective implementation. A little extra effort on the makeup side for the adult characters would have been wise when we jump back in time in the last part of the film. The physical resemblance and performance of the actors who play the main character (Jérémie Senez - the young Antoine Courtin and Pablo Pauli - the adult Antoine Courtin) is downright striking and adds to the credibility of the film for the good of it!

If you are looking for something different that the regular Netflix stuff, you will be drawn into a incredible story. I did not read the book so I did not have any expectation. The acting is spot on, beautiful shooting of Belgium countryside and deep storyline that turns unexpected. I love it !
