ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
PodBill Just what I expected
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
contato-56-570022 I have just finished to see the movie and I came to IMDb, which seems to be a very serious movie website, to read what people wrote about "Qui a tué Bambi?". It's strange that everything I read turns to make the film a good quality one. The argument is poor. The music is non-sense (it tries to copy the soundtracks of David Lynch. And I still do not know how can somebody quote him here). It's far from anything we had in history of cinema like Lynch, Kubrick's and so.If Bambi was in Cannes, I'm starting to doubt about the festival as well. And it's impressive how can the media support it. I've seen some French movies and I believe this is the worst one, it's so young as Facebook. The film was made for cocktails, good for globalized children.
mariebrohard This movie was stunning. It's not supposed to be scary, like someone's going to get me scary (i think people that say that are reading it the wrong way), it's more about the creepiness of our own desires. I don't want to give too much away, but this is a wonderful movie.The ending makes sense to me, I don't know why people keep saying it doesn't? No she didn't die physically, I think that's supposed to be meant a different way. Maybe her view of herself died, or she was permanently changed by the experience. Realizing who she is, while obviously not understanding or wanting it. The hole that she dreamed about.
Ksenia Barnes (cresmix) This movie is another good example of the 'How' prevailing over the 'What' in cinematic sense. I do agree with those who say that its denouement is plain and understand those who complain of the absence of climax but the question is - do we need a striking ending or a climatic revelation? Isabelle's gradual finding out that the charmingly monstrous Dr. Philipp is a psychopath is no surprise and the way the movie ends is no surprise either (which for some means the same as 'disappointing') but the unfolding of events, the characters' development and the quiet un-climatic finale - they all, in fact, are in great harmony with the tempo and atmosphere of the film which makes an absolutely hypnotizing effect.I wouldn't dare to call this movie a masterpiece or sensation but as a psychological thriller it is very sufficient. I totally loved the acting from both the lead characters, Sophie Quinton (Isabelle) is lovely and subtle in her innocent, pure, unstable fragility and Laurent Lucas (Dr. Philipp) is completely stunning: at one moment he's unemotional and nonchalant, interested and cunningly smiling at the other, devilishly attractive and abhorrent at the same time; through the whole film you so want to believe that he is a good and kind guy but the further the story goes the more repulsive and scary he becomes; this is actually the change Isabelle's own attitude towards him undergoes. I also liked the bizarre line of the plot's development; as it was mentioned in the comment from Charbax - weirdness is the main trait of this film, and it only benefits from it, not vise versa.The visual peculiarity of the film is its main merit (together with the acting). Beauty, strangeness and fear are perfectly conveyed through the set-design and fantastic cinematography. Music also adds a bunch to suspense slightly and eventually building up. Dream sequences, fainting fits, the snow-cleanness of the hospital and the stern darkness of the night, long corridors, lot of empty space - all is saturated with the atmosphere of unprotectedness and drowsiness which hangs in the air like an easily catchable aroma. Who cares for the plot and the dialogue when you can't get your eyes off the screen? What I find especially interesting about the film is its treatment of the 'Good seduced by Evil' question. Isabelle's being both attracted and scared by Dr. Philipp till the very end as if keeps you on your toes, you can't say for sure whether she falls or resists. I give this film 9 out of 10 and highly recommend watching it. On TV screen, by the way, it is much more enjoyable to see - alone, relaxed, with choked lights and an open mind.
Charbax I really enjoyed this movie at the Cannes Film Festival.Walking out the cinema, wearing my smoking tuxedo suit, I was shouting to myself what an awesome movie this is!I love the psychopath, I love the main actress, the cinematography is absolutely cool. The story is cool.This is maybe kind of like a David Lynch experience. Weird scenes, weird dialogs, weird camera-work, weird script. All this weirdness, and concentrated beautiful set-ups makes the film very cool. I rate it 8/10.
