Plot summary

Unpolished and ultra-pragmatic industrialist Jean-Jacques Castella reluctantly attends Racine's tragedy "Berenice" in order to see his niece play a bit part. He is taken with the play's strangely familiar-looking leading lady Clara Devaux. During the course of the show, Castella soon remembers that he once hired and then promptly fired the actress as an English language tutor. He immediately goes out and signs up for language lessons. Thinking that he is nothing but an ill-tempered philistine with bad taste, Clara rejects him until Castella charms her off her feet.

This could easily have been 90 minutes if

This could easily have been 90 minutes if they had trimmed some (or even most) of the exposition from the first act. Things really didn't heat up until the very end of the movie when the bald guy realized that he'd been mistreated and undervalued by the friend group he tried to join. The acting was solid but I had a hard time paying attention to that because this was among the wordiest foreign movies I've ever seen; my eyes were glued to the subtitles the entire time. It wasn't just that there was a lot of dialogue, it was that they seemed to have trimmed the movie not by discarding unnecessary scenes but by discarding every spare moment that would've allowed the scenes to breathe a little bit. I would imagine I'm far from the target audience here and that my viewing experience as a native French speaker would've been better, but from my point of view this is one of the weakest Foreign Language Oscar nominees of its year and among the least-deserving movies to have a 100% on Rottentomatoes.

The JaBac have done it again! Better still

The JaBac have done it again! Better still, they've actually reached peak form in their writing, interpretation and overall qualities of sharp wit, humour and understanding of human relationships. "Un air de famille" was a step up from "Cuisine et dépendances". This is another step up from "Un air de famille". A must-see!
