Review of Chaos

Chaos (2001)
10/10
if you see only one french movie in your life - let this be it!!

Just see this film! Be prepared though - as a man you will not be especially proud of your fellow menfolk. I have never before felt the need to write a comment on IMDB - but "Chaos" made me want to be a better man and my first step is to spread the word and tell whoever will listen to please see this movie. It is like karma. If I can persuade only one person to see this movie and maybe the next day be kind to a stranger or a friend whom otherwise would go unnoticed or ignored, I will not have wasted my time.

Never seen a French movie before? Cast aside any doubts and prejudices you might have regarding anything French and go ahead - make your day! You might be offended or angered by the underlying social and socio-sexual message but the plot will leave you hanging on to every 6540 seconds of the movie. The acting is superb - it is hard to say who makes the biggest impression. The three main characters are all unforgettable. Yet Line Renaud as Mamie is perhaps the most brilliant of them all. Some of the scenes in which she appears are unforgettable.

It is one of those rare movies that makes you feel something. Hope, love, frustration, anger, alive, male chauvinist pig. Lots of feelings that are hard to name but just sit there somewhere deep inside like that frustrating feeling when you catch a glimpse of a beautiful girl out of the corner of you eye and you know you will probably never see her again.
