Our Day Will Come

After seeing the directors music videos (I use the term music very loosely) I was looking forward to seeing this film. Expecting a certain amount of violence. Sadly it was very few and far between. Not what the trailer or cover art portrayed it to be. It's nowhere near La Haine at all. Just a sad kid trying to work out his sexuality and an older man having a midlife crisis.

It's not a terrible film though and the acting is good. Especially Vincent Cassel. But it never really satisfied and left me hoping they would totally go off the rails. Sadly. They didn't.

Worth a watch.

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

Let's say this, if one wants to watch a film that is needlessly strange and senseless then this is the film for him because otherwise he will only find himself in front of senseless confusion without a real plot, indeed, there is a plot and it takes only halfway through the film and without a real meaning, even at the beginning it would like to have a plot and also have a moral, instead it only manages to give the spectator a terrible and terrible confusion without rhyme or reason, which is why I believe that this film is almost a waste of time.

I knew nothing about this, just the fact that Vincent Cassel was starring. But I'm not sure there is a way to prepare for this really wild ride you're about to take while watching this movie. Cassel obviously has a lot of fun depicting the character he's portraying on screen here. He gets really OTT with it and it works more than fine. He's co-star is good too, both introduced in short segments, but both having something in common, that is more than the color of their hair.

The movie that also has some nudity in it (male and female), will appall a lot of people, just by being so apparently crazy. It doesn't seem to have a goal (or a destination), especially at the beginning, but it's more about the journey itself. A journey that has no moral implications, but is just a wild day/night out. Do not try those things at home ;o)

The outcast red-haired teenager Rémy (Olivier Barthelemy) is bullied at school and lives with his estranged mother and sister in France. The also red-haired psychiatrist Patrick (Vincent Cassel) befriends Rémy and helps him to release his repressed hatred and sexuality. When Rémy sees a picture of red-haired people in Ireland, he forces Patrick to travel with him to his dreamland.

"Notre Jour Viendra" is a dramatic and pointless journey to rage and self- destruction by the son of Costa-Gravas, Romain Gravas. The overrated film is painful to watch and goes nowhere, despite the good performances and the excellent music score. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "Nosso Dia Chegará" ("Our Day Will Come")

The two lead characters were supposed to have Red Hair, one is blonde and the other is brunette. Pointless wasting trime on this garbage.
