The animal kingdom is a film that does good, already it is a new proof that when French fantasy cinema dares, it is. Imperfect also, yes, some dialogue and situation are not perfectly credible with some biases in the history a little steep and fast, But we easily forgive him so much to see the real staging and endearing characters all in a scenario that surprises and surprises, offers a real breath of fresh air. Full of poetry, the story managed to do what we have been waiting for so long: a real fantasy film, not an American film antic.
My only regret, even if the casting is interesting, remains the director of actor who at times is a really little right especially with the character of Émile and Julia (Adèle Exarchopoulos), Romain Duris is as for him and as often, impeccable. So yes the dialogues are not always well written and it's even quite surprising, because the film is doing very well at other times. In short, it is a bit irregular and it is a bit of a shame, like its history which does not always sound very realistic in the treatment of bugs in our society.
But the heart is elsewhere, the Animal Kingdom also chooses to be more poetic than realistic and it is little to be for better to avoid some discomfort that could occur for the benefit of what it tells. He catches up in every way with a treatment much smarter than it seems, full of meaning with his quality staging. The special effects are superb, the story offers an intelligent look that takes the guts (personally I really hooked from half) with a touch of humor well dosed. A little like the main character who assumes himself, the film seems to follow the same path, when he becomes himself, he touches with the finger what we hoped for more with French fantasy cinema: to tell something powerful and authentic without overbidding. Sign of our time, emphasis of our time on our own metamorphosis, it is a real moment of unexpected freedom that makes a crazy good.

I want to tell you right away that I am not a fan of Tony Scott at all and even if I know how to recognize in his singular style interesting points, I really can not catch. But what was not my surprise when I discovered "The Hunger" which is in my opinion the equivalent of Blade Runner at Ridley, in the sense that I see here his deepest, interesting and hypnotic film.
To start, Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon who share the poster is already a very good sign that does not refuse, but if in addition the direction and the scenario are excellent, how not to fall under the spell? In many ways the film is a real gem, it is as mysterious as it is dark and offers an absolutely fascinating story with tragic characters, all with an unprecedented treatment for the creatures of the movie.
I would not say more not to vent the surprise of the subject he deals with brilliantly, but it is certainly a film to discover urgently. I must admit that this film completely rehabilitated the director in my heart having truly fallen under the spell of this unique and fascinating work.
A fantastic film in every sense of the word, powerful and captivating to discover urgently.

Very pleasant discovery that this Pandorum which, if it does not revolutionize the genre, still offers its share of surprise rather well kept. The film also offers its share of situation not always very tangible at first sight but finally, the adventures fit rather well into its universe and its subject.
The story as well as the suspense of the situations are very involved, to the point that has the image of its main character, we ask it constantly, but what the hell? So we follow n Bower's awakening after a too long cryogenic sleep. We are aboard the last ship that contains all that remains of humanity and very quickly, we discover that even if humanity tries here its last goes all to survive, nothing seems to pass as expected.
In the space void that seems to offer no tomorrow, chaos quickly regains its rights in this stifling, freezing, dirty, tribal story, a kind of Mad Max in the closed space in eight rather well shot. So even if it is not the biggest film in its category, it is part of the top of the basket and remains very sympathetic until its final revelation that some will find a little easy but that remains in the image of the whole film, unpretentious and well built.
