The prize of the audience award went to Hunting and Gathering, directed by Claude Berri and starring Audrey Tautou, Guillaume Canet.
Check out the following reviews and our blog:
 |
Change of Address
Trying too hard to be charming and funny while dangerously perched on the peak of awkwardness and failure, Change of Address is most unfortunate in trying to be an American romantic comedy.
|
 |
Family Hero
With the city of Nice as the spectacular setting, the actors of Family Hero shine and shimmer as brightly as the azure waters that surround them.
|
 |
Flanders
Bruno Dumont's film mirrors two spaces with climates that are worlds apart: the cinegenic region of Flanders and an Eastern country suffocating from the heat.
|
 |
Hunting and Gathering
Another overly Americanized French romantic comedy that, fortunately, is saved by good performances and a sarcastic script.
|
 |
La Vie en Rose
Marion Cotillard's performance is the essence of this film. A successful work by director Olivier Dahan on the life of legendary French singer Edith Piaf.
|
 |
Mon Colonel
Co-written by Costa-Gavras Mon Colonel exposes the use of torture against Algerians during the colonial war.While it certainly makes its point, it should be seen as a minor work.
|
 |
Paris, Je T'aime
An ambitious but rather unfortunately uneven selection of shorts featuring the City of Lights.
|
 |
Priceless
Nothing revolutionary or Oscar-worthy here, but the script by writer/director Pierre Salvadori has enough fun with its characters and its setting that you can't help falling under Priceless' charm.
|
 |
The Snake
The Snake belongs to a formulaic and fading sub-genre where everything has been seen before. While you feel the effect of the bite momentarily, the venom of this snake is inoffensive afterwards.
|
 |
Tell No One
Despite a good ensemble cast and a few intriguing moments, director Guillaume Canet's Tell No One fails, and the title gives a warning spectators should follow scrupulously.
|
 |
Twice Upon a Time
Twice Upon a Time shows that romantic comedies can work without a youthful and glamorous cast, as long as the actors have enough charisma to transcend their age.
