Piaf (1974)
40 years after
After having the honor of meeting Brigitte and Guy about 40 years ago,I Always wondered if I would ever get a chance to see this film.I'v searched through Amazon.com until the other day on Amazon.fr I found a second hand (fairly good condition) Video cassette. My opinion the film could go on a bit longer into the life of Piaf ,since the atmosphere was quite well caught half way the story. Sorry to say that I'v seen a B/W version ,if any colored one available?Brigitte Ariel fits the role of Piaf exactly and the rags she wears are far more believable than any other film production about Edith Piaf.So are the sets.Paris between 1915 and 1950 was picturesque and well shot ,even in the B/W version I could view.
Soof (2013)
soof has a love affair that starts the story going.
Soof is real Dutch entertainment.If you like to spend a night having Dutch actors show their comedian skills; you might as well consider Soof worth seeing.The plot is not dragging and the speed in which the story unfolds is OK.Locations on farmhouses and at parties are well directed.Soofs plot is simple ;as are most Dutch films fit for general audiences.No complications enjoying this ,somewhat dated comedy. Aditional fun is that it supplies an American dutch actor (Dan Karaty) a small bitt part ,which he survives as a romeo. Soof comes back to her family just in time not to disappoint her children ,instead of running away with her American lover.
