Il quinto set

There are some great things about this movie. The acting for instance works well (which was expected with such actors) and the characters are interesting. Also, there were many interesting ideas regarding how to show tennis games in a way that is different to what we see on TV. Obviously the subject matter will make it more attractive to people who enjoy tennis in the first place but I feel like the themes are fairly universal (the meaning of achieving something, finding purpose in life etc..) Overall I enjoyed the movie while it lasted and, had they come up with something more elaborate - anything really - for the ending, I would probably have found it a good movie. As it stands, it is disappointing, to say the least. Also, the colour treatment feels very dated already (think shades of orange, blue and grey). I am not sure if it was to be on brand with Roland Garros or a creative attempt to lift the grey vibe of Paris suburbs but I felt it was a bit too much at times.
