Break

I really loved this movie The choreography at the Beginning and at the End of the movie were very VERY beautiful!!! The feelings!!! Especially at the end of the movie. Breathtaking!!

I was under the impression this movie was about breakdancing... It is not. It is however about dancing, stage performance, and i must admit it does contain some impressive dancing, especially the breakdancing, the stage performance is cool too... But it is not breakdancing.

This whole movie is about a dancer who has to make a stage performance for a... Thing... Anyway she goes to some city, and is inspired by breakdancing, and sets out to get a teacher. They have 3 weeks to make a performance, so they focus on making it unique... Which is funny because the movie is not. Unique that is.

The movie has weird pacing, it feels offbeat, the then story feels off too, it lacks motivation and emotion, you never really get a feel for the character or why they are pressuring this goal.

The goal that is set to be the ultimate goal is then defeated, to be replaced by a new goal... combined with the sup plot and drama.... So it all kinda feels ruched because it all has to happen in only 1 hour and 37 minutes

All in all i was left a bit disappointed by the lack of actual breakdancing and unfocused due to pacing. I did enjoy some of the movie, some of it was cool.

I leave in French-speaking Switzerland so it wasn't difficult for me to watch this film in the cinema. I was entranced by the story, the characters, the music, the dancing... it went by quickly even though it was my first French language movie without subtitles! Stromae and his song deserve a special mention, but the actors playing the two main characters also do a fantastic job. I'm being vague about the plot because I think the less you know about it, the better: suffice it to say that it's a drama, that it features dancing (different styles) and that it packs a punch. Don't miss it!

I went to see "Break" and director (Marc Fouchard) did a beautiful job on the movie. All plans are beautiful and the light is really amazing. The scene of Battle is really splendidt! And my crush goes to the intro scene ... which is poetic and just sublime.

Lucie, a dancer, has an accident. When she wakes up from her coma, she and her partner begin training for a dance performance. Along the way, she begins looking for her father, a path that could lead her to a life-changing love.

The opening scenes of dancing in the air, hanging from the building with ropes, beautiful and delicate, risky, falsely led me to believe that it would be a different film about dance, a big mistake, taking the trauma of the protagonist aside, the film rowed to nowhere, swam and died on the beach, boring, I lost interest in less than 15 minutes, but I went to the end, like a good cinephile, #SQN...
