Beyond the Reef (1979)
Atmosphere and contemplative movie
This is not an action movie. It is about life and priorities and the atmosphere of living in the islands. The simplicity of life and what is important and what is not.
The filming and acting could have been done better maybe. It's very simple.
But it takes you to a life on the island time and simplicity.
Immortel (ad vitam) (2004)
Amazing movie that requires a lot of background and culture
I can understand why some people didn't liked the movie. People do need some requirements to understand the movie and unlike most movies everything is definitely not explained in the movie or at least at the beginning of the movie. If you watch it until the end you will get an answer to most of your questions. However if you don't know anything on the GODS from Ancient Egypt, on French Poetry ( especially Baudelaire who's poetry is present over and over) and didn't saw movies like "The Island" ( not necessary but useful) you will miss 50% of the movie interest. I would strongly recommend this movie, but don't expect everybody to like it. The only thing I didn't liked in the movie is that sometimes the actors don't play THAT well. I would however mention that they acted the entire movie with a blue screen behind... it doesn't help. However the actors choice was perfect and the costumes and the decorum and the atmosphere are absolutely amazingly rendered in the movie. Enjoy !
