Product Description

L’un produit, l’autre réalise, mais les deux frères Coen scénarisent ensemble depuis 1984. Abordant avec un talent réellement original quelques-uns des genres emblématiques du cinéma américain (policier, comédie musicale.…), ils se laissent glisser non sans humour sur les rives de la comédie romantique avec Intolerable Cruelty.
Miles Massey (George Clooney) est l’avocat le plus efficace qui soit en matière de divorce. Intelligent, charismatique et drôle, il est la séduction même. Marylin Rexroth (Catherine Zeta-Jones), quant à elle, a presque fait du divorce sa profession. Belle, vénéneuse et féline, elle est la manipulation incarnée. Évidemment, leur rencontre, dans un grand jeu à qui arnaquera l’autre, fera des étincelles.
Dès le prologue et le générique, les frères Coen nous rassurent : leur ironie et leur humour second degré ne se sont pas dilués dans les codes du genre romantique. Au contraire. Personnages décalés, mise en scène à la limite du burlesque et verve des dialogues servent le film sans jamais le transformer en parodie. Car les Coen respectent le genre, sans aucun doute. En veulent pour preuves, la réalisation lumineuse et élégante, le charme de Clooney (dont les capacités d’autodérision le rendent encore plus irrésistible) et la sophistication de Zeta-Jones. Inattendu, subtil et dynamique, Intolerable Cruelty rend un bien bel hommage à l’amour. Des prises supplémentaires surprenantes, un making of et un documentaire sur les costumes complètent agréablement le DVD. – Helen Faradji.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best comedy iv'e seen for a long time.,
By Melting_Pot (Shreveport, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intolerable Cruelty (Widescreen) (DVD)
Catherine Zeta-Jones and George Clooney give and outstanding performance in this funny movie. When it came out, I scoffed at the movie, because I thought all of Zeta-Jones's movies were bad. However, she gives a great performance in this movie, along with her co-star. This is a good comedy that I would reccomend.

This review contains NO spoilers.I am surprised at the many negative reviews here and on [...]. I consider myself to be a picky movie watcher, not easily impressed. Intolerable Cruelty (awful title) is one of the rare films to impress me recently. The production is very slick, as is to be expected from the Coen brothers. The acting by Clooney and Zeta-Jones is top-notch, and they were cast perfectly for their roles. There is a colorful cast of supporting characters. The film only made me laugh out loud once in a while, but almost every scene is fun since the movie doesn't take itself seriously. The plot is full of unpredictable twists, keeping things lively. The writing is excellent, with many clever lines. By the end I was truly jumping out of my seat, raving about how great a movie it is. If you don't believe me, here's a quote from professional film reviewer James Berardinelli ([...]): [...] for those who like intelligent, quirky movies filled with big laughs, dry wit, and other small pleasures, it's difficult to beat Joel and Ethan Coen's humorous outings. Intolerable Cruelty is the most recent of these - a film that takes the traditional romantic comedy and tweaks it by way of The War of the Roses. Rarely has strife between the sexes been so ruthless, so civilized, and so funny. Ignore the negative reviews and give this film a chance!

Absolutely phenominal!! Catherine Zeta-Jones and George Clooney make an awesome team! The storyline is a little different but it has an interesting twist on love, marriage and divorce...mostly divorce!
