4.0 out of 5 stars
Intelligent satire that somehow didn't quite break through to greatness for me.,
By
This review is from: A Self Made Hero (Un Heros Tres Discret) [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)
Intelligent, droll, well made study of one man remaking himself as a hero under the cover of war.
Poses interesting questions about identity and truth, and how we all invent ourselves. Some terrific cinematography, and a solid lead performance by Mathieu Kassovitz. However, something was missing for me emotionally. Sometimes the ideas seemed heavy handed, and other times, motives and characters underdeveloped. However, enough smart critics and viewers I admire saw this as a near masterpiece, that I'd be open to taking another look.

Tres Bonne!,

This review is from: A Self Made Hero (Un Heros Tres Discret) [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)
Got as a course text film.
Excellent for the price, albeit had to dig out the old VCR, in order to view it. Kassovitch is one of the up and comiung French actors and the film is well constructed with the appropriate meassage about collaboration, useful in the context of one studying French Culture, where this is on the syllabus. Useful to see M. Jo, lately of Transporter fame and the actor who plays the Judge -Pprocurator in BBC 4's recent run of Engrenages (Spiral 3). when they were a bit younger!

The Great Pretender,
By MR B SIMPSON (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Self Made Hero (Un Heros Tres Discret) [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)
This is a wonderfully inciteful film about attitudes to the second world war and the French resistance. An imaginative take on the subject with superb acting....a must!
