A few hours once, Marc at last puts a name to her live through. It's Cathy, the girl he was in love with maturing up in Oran, Algeria, in the maintain being of the French colonial management.

WRITERS: Jacques Fieschi (plan), Nicole Garcia (plan), Natalie Delivery service (collaboration) ">"In the past I NEVER Josh AND YOU NEVER LOOKED AT ME"

"Un Balcon sur la Mer" is a transparent and hypnotic mixture of romance and detective novel. The film's director Nicole Garcia, who was untrained in Oran, Algeria, when Algeria was a French decision, had to flee in 1962 at Independence, for instance of the violence that erupted in the limits. She sure thing had a lot of memoirs from this time, not all of them bad. That is the basis and the discharge of being of this model -the memoirs, the cartel of appealing and frost, that we never forget. The memoirs in this capture on tape composition with friendship and love amid teenagers perhaps the sweetest they will ever greet, delimited by violence, mindless attacks and the possibility of departure.

The capture on tape follows Marc, who is married to his boss's lass and who is a jump himself. He appears to be happy, having a loving family and good career as a real home evocative. But the bedlam comes in his life when he recognizes his from way back go for Cathy in his new activist. We don't greet it at first, at the same time as. The smooth trick the capture on tape plays on us is that we greet less than the characters we are study. We see them act and only then we find out why they acted this way. So at first we see Marc looking as if a thunder struck him. And then we see him pleased and howling, as if he flinch a quantity, he lonely a long time ago.

At first we only see Marc and Cathy curiously looking at each a good deal and it's not until the second day that he asks her if he is right, if she is upright his long lonely friend. She says yes and they quantity memoirs, about the play they were both in, about the candy store tangentially the street. Marc appears to be arrogant dutiful, since Cathy is be different of him and seems uncertain by his affections. That is until the well-built night they value in a cabin. After that Cathy goes barred, but not for for eternity - she previous to set a meeting on the way to the haul her firm makes from Marc.

And then, the deep space thickens. Marc's close relative tells him that Cathy, children girl he loved died shorty after Marc vanished Algeria. She never told him that for instance she knew how furthest he was throb, just by departure her give to. Marc can't own it, as he just saw Cathy and they talked for hours about their memoirs. That is the consequence when the capture on tape turns from substitute into a romantic detective novel. It's hard to add up to what is go through and when you find out, not only are you leaving to be confused but it what's more makes the story far arrogant exciting and agonizing.

The capture on tape is not very objective in the way the characters are portrayed - they are all very pact and nice, not considering the fact what they do is unprincipled and it causes harm to others. Marc is cheating on his ensemble and separation up his family, all for instance of the girl he haven't seen in being, all for instance of the puppy love. Cathy is deceit and manipulative, but I can't say arrogant not to spot your surprises. It is only for instance of acute cast that we still feel for the characters and no matter how unprincipled it may fire to be, we rock layer for them to end up together in the end of the model.

Jean Dujardin is marvelous as a man who is worn out amid the good life he leads and the memoirs that never surely vanished him, that now came back to hole him like arrogant. Citizens memoirs steal him both joy and be distressed, the harmony of the first love and the check that was to position her. The best scenes are the ones where he is without a sound debating what to do, for instance he knows if makes one arrogant step give to will be no leaving back.

But the best performance in the capture on tape is delivered by Marie-Jos'ee Croze who plays Cathy. She is just hypnotic on guard, as she is very terrible and we never greet what her get together is and why is she play in sound effects that we see her do. In the past the discharge is disallowed it's still hesitant what her goals are promptly, but as we see the from way back flashbacks it's impossible not to feel for her character. Her character is both a shrewd femme fatale and a market leader children girl, who is disapprovingly in love.

The capture on tape moves back and forth amid present time and the time Cathy and Marc where mope aware in Algeria. Citizens scenes present tons purposes and come back frequently from unorthodox point of view. The model plays very smooth trick on us - at one point Marc is shadowlike by what he didn't endorse and give to are tons shots in the flashback sequences where we, the shut down, what's more don't endorse express sound effects that are powerful to the deep space, not considering them being right give to in lead.of us, the grassy time.

The one problem I had with the model is how the story is executed - since the basic tell is powerfully effective, for some discharge the writers promote arrogant elements that make for surprises and connections amid the characters. It was complex quite as it was, but what makes sound effects subordinate is the uneven pacing - for the first hour of the capture on tape sound effects are surely gorgeously made known on guard and at the same time as give to is enough of mystery it is never incomprehensible to shadow what is leaving on. But then, for some discharge, amid sequences some time passes and in the maintain 20 report it feels like illustrious chunks of the story are not here where.

The capture on tape redeems itself in a very beautiful and pictographic end. The communication of the story is that like if you lonely something, unorthodox beautiful person, unorthodox lovely relationship may not be that far barred. Two people related by their memoirs, grimy with blood and violence, but what's more bedecked with high spirits and the magic of from way back are hoedown together. Confident memoirs can't be erased, an like if they are related with something painful, you would never give them up.
