Rock'n Roll

the movie "Rock'n Roll" shot by Guillaume Canet is quite entertaining yet disclosing film of what it's like to be an actor in modern day. characters have their real names, action happens on a daily basis and that gives movie documentary esthetic. Marion Cotillard plays her role in an extremely good way as always.the movie is full of funny scenes.All in all it show how over-commercialized is film industry and how it destroys your identity and the way of living.

The trailer was fun and engaging, I was really keen to see this film. It started well, there was a good and fun concept behind it, the actors were great (and French royalty!). And then, it went to "n'importe quoi" (rubbish). I'm not sure where the direction or moral the story was trying to go, but it became hard to watch. I expected a good laugh, an enjoyable movie, and instead it disappointed me. A shame.

This film although funny in parts sounds more like an inside joke than anything else. Two ace actors seemingly playing at acting and around the craft of acting; like watching Jimi Hendrix playing before a gig; warming up. The storyline is pitiful and could only resonate with 40-something actors. I am a huge fan of both actors here and rate Tell No One (Ne le dis à personne) as one of the best movies of the last 20 years; but this here I shall say it again seems like an inside joke; something you dreamt up and or thought of doing but should probably not have allowed to get a real airing ... At times you seriously question the sanity of the endeavour. Maybe therapeutic :) Shame. Still: watch it if you like Canet and Cotillard.

I went into this film in Sydney with very little in the way of expectations. I found it extremely funny, and Canet is extremely self depreciating throughout the film as he looks as his life as an elder statesman of French cinema. The film is very funny, and excels in revealing the nuances of French cinema through Canet and his wife Marion Cotillard. I felt that it definitely could have been about half an hour shorter, so could have done with tighter editing perhaps. However, if you want a feel-good film look no further. Allez Canet.

Ironic perspective about middle age crisis, great French actors - and not only french, humor, lovely Marillon Cotillard and Guillaume Canet as a mix of Ken and hulk, large zones of parody, pure satire about cinema industry and men or women feeling not so...rock.

The fun is basic purpose . And the nice acting gives, scene by scene, new prooves for this.

A good point - the meeting between Ben Fosse and Guillaume Canet.

Bizarre , maybe awful, the transformation ( sure , you know to be a question of prosthetics but... ).

In short, easy comedy in essence, with few good sparkles about immaturity, love, family and exces to save apparences - career.
