         An element of film production that doesn’t often get discussed is unity, how all the individual elements work together. It is impossible to review Cyrano without considering the film’s unity. Each of the individual elements in Joe Wright’s adaptation of Erica Schmidt’s musical are fantastic. Wright’s direction is full of formalistic embellishments, Peter Dinklage gives an emotional performance as the title character, and there are several memorable songs. At the same time, these fantastic elements rarely work together, leaving a film that feels like a collection of individual elements.

 

My Afternoons with Margueritte Blu-ray Review

 

  • Director ‏ : ‎ Jean Becker
  • Run time ‏ : ‎ 1 hour and 23 minutes
  • Release date ‏ : ‎ April 19, 2022

         My Afternoons with Margueritte takes the type of feel-good narrative expected to come from Hollywood but approaches it with a European sensibility. There are no big emotional speeches or contrived relationships. Everything feels grounded and lacking the melodramatic trappings one might expect. Even when sad or tragic events occur, they are handled with subtlety and play in an understated manner.
