Dark as Brazil,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: L'Âge des ténèbres (DVD)
The knife of Denys Arcand's satire cuts deeper than ever in this film. It's remarkably like Terry Gilliam's Brazil in this respect (though not in production design): ineffectual civil servant who is a heroic lover in his dreams and fantasies finally makes a break with The System ... only in this case he also makes a break with his compensatory fantasies, and he isn't crushed by the system in the end. Arcand's depiction of contemporary life at large is almost as surrealistic as Gilliam's. If this film isn't quite as good as The Barbarian Invasions or Jesus of Montreal -- the two greatest Canadian films of all, in my opinion -- it's still very much worth seeing. Much of it is savagely funny. The only trouble is that the darkness is so deep here that the light at the end is almost overwhelmed by it.By the way, the English subtitling of the film is fine, but the extras on the DVD (a couple of deleted scenes, and interviews with Arcand) are not translated at all.

L'âge des ténèbres à son meilleur!,
By
This review is from: L'Âge des ténèbres (DVD)
C'est vraiment un bon film! Par moment, il semble que Marc Labrèche porte le film sur ses épaules, mais il reste que le film est remarquable! Teinté d'une touche d'ironie, il reflète fort bien la situation présente au Québec! Sombre, déprimant et touchant par moment, c'est le genre de film qui nous permet de mettre en perspective nos propres vies et de réfléchir à ses dernières. Il y a aussi tout l'aspect de la problématique de société qui est soulevée. Une merveille!L'ensemble du film nous permet de nous placer dans les souliers de Jean-Marc Leblanc et de porter ses lunettes, ce qui n'est pas une mince chose! Il est même par moment troublant de se reconnaître dans le personnage. Un bijou de la culture québécoise à découvrir!!! Malgré la controverse, c'est un grand film réalisé d'une main de maître et interprété par des comédiens tout aussi habiles! Je lève mon chapeau à toute l'équipe!
