It is lamentable to see so much talent (Jude Law) and resources go into such rockanbulesque story that suffers from the worst that can be said about a story: it does not feel real. I went into it because my favorite actor Jude Law. However the story is so fast paced, convoluted and cartoonish that it drains your energy to finish it. I am at my almost 7 try to finish and it is very difficult to deal with such a fake cartoonish character as played by Bateman. Again, he does not feel real. So bad is the pacing and direction that it almost achieves the imposible, to make Jude Law look bad unreal actor in its performance. Is this a real world or some form of contrived fiction? Do people actually live this way, independently of NYC, the restaurant, the celebrities and the money and gangsters. No. It does not convince, which is a shame for a show with so many resources.
These series loosely based on historical events around the French Revolution is beautifully filmed, sensual and so open minded, so French that it ignites your desire to live in the world. What would be the world without French pastries , food and without the French Revolution?! I loved the clothes, the style, the places and all characters. Also there is pioneering filming about a French cuisine in the 18th century, all the craziness and characters that surround one new and emerging artistic star: THE CHEF. Great entertainment through which you can also learn about Marie-Antoine Careme, one the pioneering chefs of modern history. Thanks to the producers!!
I reserved rating of 10 for cinema that I greatly enjoy but that also feels personal to me and that, as Tralala, moves my emotional and existential geography. You feel envigorated with the subject matter of life. Mattew Almaric conveys so much beauty and tenderness in his performance of a homeless person who is driven to take the role of another. The film is set in Paris and in the town of Lourdes, France. This is the cinema that the French sometimes gets us accustomed to, simplicity and grandness altogether. And do not miss Bertran Belin, a great French musician little known in the US but that I have been used to love for 3 years playing a character and a great song in the film finale. And the performance of Denis Lavant as a Shakespearean movie jester. The film ends with him dancing like in the classic Claire Denis' Beau Travail. Tralala is unforgettable. Thanks to directors and producers and everyone.
