Pretty much, though I didn't like Farrell very much. Nor Atwell. And the ending is atrocious.FilmFan720 wrote:Watched Cassandra's Dream today. I can't find any mention of it around here, so I don't know if anyone else caught it. It is pretty slight, even for a Woody Allen film, but I don't see what all the negative energy was for. It isn't horrible, and it keeps the attention, but in the end it is just sort of there and doesn't really leave any taste. Farrell and McGregor are good, and newcomer Hayley Atwell is radiant as the actress-girlfriend. Current board favorite Sally Hawkins even has a nice supporting role. The whole thing, though, is fairly one-note.

Nothing but the Truth 7/10
Suprisingly good film. I couldn't believe in my eyes that Kate Beckinsale could actually act. Mat Dillon and Alan Alda were equally impressive, but the movie belongs to Vera Farmiga.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist 6,5/10
Another good film i didn't see it coming. A very charming couple of protagonists and an interesting take on a subject done thousand times before. The inclusion of the gay friends did help the film, but the toilet humour did not.

Elaine Stritch: At Liberty (2002) Various 6/10
The Eternity Man (2008) Julien Temple 6/10
Honeydripper (2007) John Sayles 7/10
The Class (2008) Laurent Cantent 7/10
I doubt the Academy will vote for The Class best in the foreign language category. It's quite unlike anything that they have even nominated before and its inclusion is probably a result of changes to the selection process.
It's filmed in a documentary style and is worlds away from high school dramas that have populated mainstream cinema for over the last 50 years. All of the action takes place within the school walls (hence the French title Entre les murs) so what information is revealed about the lives of the teachers and students is purely be incidental dialogue only. Funnily enough at the moment that the film itself finished and the end credits started I felt like I was watching a Frederick Wiseman documentary as there was no music used in the film (which I didn't actually notice when watching it) and all that is heard are the rumblings of the class room, which is pretty much the way the Wiseman concludes most of his films.
As is widely known that Francois Begaudeau who wrote the book and co-wrote the screenplay is fine in the lead role, particularly that he like all of the characters are limited to the school grounds. I can't see the French Government using this film as a recruitment tool for Public Schools and I'll be interested to see what teachers from the world over think of the content of this film.
