a total disappointment, 9 octubre 2006

Author: daniel Carbajo López de Barcelona, Spain

Andres is from Murcia (a poor region of Spain, at the 50's) and goes on holidays to Paris. There he meets Ninette, the most beautiful girl in France and they fell in love. At the end they get married, but then, her exuberant body will cause Andres to become too much jealous. At first I wanted to watch this film as it was one of the best of the year (in Spain), it was also from Mihura's text and well I do not love Garci, but he does good films sometimes... Unfortunately, it is not very good, the main Character, Andrés, results absolutely stupid and most of the time, all that is happening has no sense (for example when andres is thinking in having an adventure with his secretary... who'd do it having Elsa Pataky as wife??). The directing is correct, nothing more, and the story results boring. The only good point is the fact that we can see Elsa Pataky nude many times, which, well has any artistic value but she's very pretty... To sum up, there are better films everywhere

A most see romantic movie, seen it twice!!!, 22 diciembre 2007

Author: Alejandro Malla de Dominican Republic

I have to confess that I saw this movie attracted by the Ninette movie picture (Elsa Pataky legs reading a book). I am not from Spain so I don't now any of the actors and don't speak French so cant comment on the actors accent, but I do can say that I was so impressed with Elsa Pataky performance, her gentleness, seductiveness, perkiness and smile that urged me to find other movie where she has acted, for example "Menos es mas" was another romantic movie that I liked.

This is a movie with romance and happy ending.

Another aspect of the movie that got my attention is that everything happens indoor and I didn't find it tedious.

The scenario takes place in Paris and Murcia (Spain) and you can see Andres character behavior in Paris and in Murcia where everything is more strict.

After this movie I have seen Elsa performance on Romasanta, Menos es mas, Peor Impossible, Iznogoud, Beyond Re-Animator, Sin noticias de Dios, El Arte de morir, Snake on a Plane, Los Serrano, first episode of Al salir de clase, Manuale d'amore 2 and hope to see more.

A disappointment, 23 agosto 2005

Author: Nh3 de Zimbabwe

When trying to find what doesn't work in Ninette many things come to my mind. They are not the predictable ones though: The unusual scenarios (all interiors!) or the choice of an actress like Elsa Pataky (imitating a French accent) work incredibly well, and the start is the best part of the movie. As the movie goes on the only flaws are probably the hyper-naive script where characters seem very artificial and implausible, especially Carlos Hipolito who disappoints a little whereas Pataky does a quite a goo job. I haven't read Mihura's works and I suppose they worked well in theatres but it don't translate very well to cinema. The way Ninette acts, the parent's ideology's caricature and the protagonist's friend (the kind of gags) are the things I reckon less attractive of this film.

But the film doesn't crash until the family moves to Murcia and an absurd and unnecessary part is added to the film. Well, I know that everything is Mihura's two work's adaptation but it doesn't justify what starts there. They appear in Murcia (where no one has a Murcian accent and they are even laistas) and the protagonist has an attempt of affair with Mar Regueras (who wouldn't, being married to Elsa Pataky) but it doesn't go on, ending with a sudden and strange outcome. The last part back in Paris is even more strange and confusing.

So I found the first part in Paris acceptable and the rest just awful. The film seems to rely on Pataky's body to succeed and that's why they released it in august, I suppose.

The master piece that we where waiting for a long time..., 24 septiembre 2006

Author: romasantaolney de Spain

I saw Ninette last year, and in my opinion it was one of the best films I saw in the whole year. Humour is very intelligent and Garci knows who make you laugh in a very polite and smart mood. These film it is not for all tastes because it's not a quick movie and who wants to see the film only for Elsa Pataky will get bored, because if you only find see her naked you can download the pictures on th Internet. The film is another thing, a good story based in the plays about the character of Ninette, the performances, the cinematography...everything almost touch the perfection.Elsa Pataky makes her best performance( she was great and superb in Romasanta, Tiovivo c1950 and Beyond Re-animator), she makes you laugh, cry and now she has become a well-known actress. The other actors in the cast are fantastic. Garci has done a very good master piece, if you want to fall in love with Ninette,just watch it(her).
