Enfin, Robert Altman réussit une chronique où il rend attachant presque tous ses personnages! Ses précédents 'The Player' et 'Short Cuts', quoique très réussis, étaient beaucoup plus cyniques. Ici, il nous fait partager la vie de quelques personnages d'une petite ville du sud des Etats-Unis, un peu endormie, très provinciale, mais où les gens se connaissent et s'apprécient. Sont-ils adorables, ce policier, cet avocat et ce suspect qui, en cellule, font un scrabble ensemble! A part ça, Liv Tyler est encore plus belle quand elle essaye de faire oublier sa beauté.

Allez voir ce film, il est excellent. On n'a pas l'impression que nos émotions sont manipulées. Pas comme dans les supers productions. 'Ca fleure bon l'authentique!' (mais de l'autre côté de l'atlantique)

I read somewhere that you're supposed to defend your position or else you end up looking like an imbecille : so i guess i should although Isabelle's reply seems pretty coherent. Let me just get a Fraise melba chez zizi, crack my knucles and figure out what to say. Personally i believe that the whole point of going to the cinema is to live something different for a couple of hours, that is getting 'in' the film, and living in it with the actors. Now the typical american 'shoot kiss shoot' film does that, but once it's over, you forget it pretty quickly while searching your car in the parking lot. Elsewise this kind of Altman film makes you really believe that there exists a Holly Springs and all the rest. The story may seem stupid, but it does seem realistic to me. (Most of my aunts are completly mad...any would do anything for my grandma's heritage : how sad.) Therefore to reach a classical compromise (and to bring the moyen down) i guess i'll vote again, this time as Bon, and i'll have another Demi Americain Fraise Melba. Cheers.
