Joyeuses Pâques (1984)
If you don't like this film, your head is too far up up your...
In 1984, the "Man" is looking at a world that is changing. The socialists are shaming you to be a capitalist while drinking champagne and eating caviar. The society is turning into a never ending pit of bad faith and selfishness. In the middle of it all comes this ridiculous caricature of a men from another time whom struggles to stay afloat. One lie to hide the previous one, presenting how ridiculous these "Don Juans" are in a world where women are simply stronger.
This open the way to all the profound and sincere French humour in which the best thing to mocks is ourselves.
To sum up, if you are French and think this is isn't funny, you should replace that head of yours, so stuck far up your bottom and try what is called "Autodérision".
Qu'on me donne une mur..Que je me tape la tête dessus...Que je me suicide au mur !!!
Les trois mousquetaires : D'Artagnan (2023)
Basic and fundamentally good
Making a « three musketeers » film is by definition an easy/hard task.
In the sense that everyone that saw at leat one of the million other film made on this subject, will immediately have an « expert » opinion.
The story, based on the book, is so famous that it became a super hero franchise without trade or copyright. The book itself, published in 1844 tell the story of d'Artagnan and his pals in circa 1635/1650. Two centuries appart !!
(No one still alive to verify the wonders or accuracies of interprétations)
So, once you've stop listening to the cynical, cold pissing, experts of everything and nothing, you can probably enjoy a nice, well made, conformist yet modern film that tells an old story.
Love, fear, doubts, mistakes, redemption and entertainment. It's all in there, in a very digestible production with good actors and a pleasant storyline.
To sum up. A good flix.
The World According to Garp (1982)
Sort of a « Life Guide » in troubled times
I've watched this film when I was 8 or 10 years old and immediately liked it.
Nevermind the innuendo and adult story telling that I didn't understand at the time, this felt like DIY adventure.
I'm not pretending I'm right about this but maybe the message is not to worry about your falls and failures, just rather focus on how luck, love and empathy shape the frame of your unique existence.
To cut it short, watch it. Even if it does not moves you, you'll at least be entertained by rocket high level of acting this cast have to offer. The directions is classic and pleasantly serving the film to carry the underline emotion.

Under rated thriller
Very Classic, well played 90's thriller.
Everything works.
Vercingétorix (2001)
Border to porn
This actually looks like a porn movie without the porn scenes.
