Poor Things (2023)
Rich Minds
Poor Things is a brilliant and hilarious adaptation of Alasdair Gray's novel, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and written by Tony McNamara. The film stars Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, a young woman who is resurrected by a mad scientist (Willem Dafoe) with the brain of her unborn child. She escapes from her arranged marriage to a naive medical student (Ramy Youssef) and joins a libertine lawyer (Mark Ruffalo) on a wild adventure across the world.
The film is a dark comedy that satirizes the Victorian society and its hypocrisy, sexism, and classism. It also explores the themes of identity, freedom, and love through the eyes of Bella, who is both innocent and rebellious. Stone delivers a stunning performance as Bella, showing her range and versatility as an actress. She is supported by a stellar cast, especially Dafoe and Ruffalo, who are both hilarious and menacing in their roles. The film also boasts a beautiful cinematography by Robbie Ryan, a whimsical score by Jerskin Fendrix, and a sharp editing by Yorgos Mavropsaridis.
Poor Things is a masterpiece of absurdity and wit, a film that will make you laugh, cry, and think. It is one of the best films of 2023, my personal favorite, and deserves all the accolades it has received. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story, a great acting, and a unique vision.
Coup de chance (2023)
There's no luck in Coup De Chance!
One of the worst movie I watched in French and I am a French native! I have no idea how can people appreciate this awful movie with one of the worst scenario I've seen lol. The characters are poorly built and extremely badly acted, nobody is going to win an award! Poor direction, poor lighting, the only 'good' thing in it is the sets, the 'rich architecture, the rich places'. Oh, and let's not forget that jazz music that does NOT fit with the scenes whatsoever! The only real luck is if you didn't watch it haha, urgh painful watch.
I have nothing more to say about this... let me say it in French; "ce navet!" (a turnip)
