Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
lamegabyte I first notice her in the movie La Beuze in which she shows funny kissing skills. Then, recently i just picked her glamour pictures for her 12th Marrakech International Film Festival Photocall in 2012 and it's the instant hard-on : this fine brunette wears a exciting see trough with black leather jacket, full red lips on a red carpet ! In addition, i notice that she is again a look alike of my famous coworker who was already the inspiration for Crystal Klein (#39), Laure Sinclair (#43), Rebecca Hall (#75), Jade Nile (#89) and the one shot [12] Nomi Malone ! Sure you will tell me that they are all different but that is the proof that feminine beauty has multiples angles…Here, Zoe plays a no feeling, opportunist model who does cheap erotic photos and who is offered better opportunities by making adult movies. As it's a french drama, the story is the expected treatment : drugs, bad deals, exploitation… At the end, it's a tragic, bloody shoot them up… It's very limited, as dull as Zoé tells it too, but the cast is cool with Romain, Maginel and real porn-stars (i have recognized Olivia (#79) but not Laure). As for Zoe, she exposes her cleavage for a few seconds only and dressed not sexy! So it's not really hot but you can watch it if nothing else, all the more it happens in Nice that is indeed a real jewel city ! NB : the movie opens on the 14th July and when you see the big crowd everywhere, you still wonder as a French how a mad truck could go there years later with all security forces on alert ????
ashmeu1 Although not perfect, this movie is indeed a noir. The ambiance is here, as well as good acting and direction (most of them now have achieved notoriety). Of course Déja Mort is kind of immature in essence, but what do you expect teenagers, rich & wannabees, having parties, sex drugs and alcohol to act like ? Noir is about flawed characters making mistakes. It's a noir by a young writer/director aimed at a young audience, and as that, it is quite good.And PLEASE don't compare it to Requiem for a Dream, dummy. I know Dahan is not Aronofsky, but unless you think the 1933 King Kong is a remake of Peter Jackson's, check out the release dates.
edouard_verhelst Although the girl thinks she is the one who makes the decisions in her live it is fate that is in control. More so if drugs are involved.This film shows us that often it are the most honest of young people that can get trapped because they want to be part of the swinging live. They become too late aware that it is all make believe.
Phroggy This is a gem of a "noir" movie showing various character in a self-destructive descent into hell. This is not really a portrayal of the porn business, but much more. A young guy is fascinated by two poseurs taking snapshots and agrees to introduce to them a girl, Zoé, he watches from afar. The two rich brats accept him as Zoé's "chaperon", but they soon turn her to the porn business. This could be sub-Tarantino territory, but Dahan actually fleshes out his characters, introduces real humanity and, if we know this will all end in tragedy, the "how" remains fascinating. This is great, sincere stuff.
