5.0 out of 5 stars Les Roseaux Sauvages, 26 Jun 2000
By Billy J. Hobbs "billhobbs" (Tyler, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Les Roseaux Sauvages [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
For cinema buffs, this film "Les Roseaux Sauvages" ("The Wild Reeds) is probably Andre Techine's best (although 'Thieves' comes close). Released in 1994, the movie won four Cesar Awards, including Best Picture.

That said, it's a great film anyway! Techine incredibly evokes--and captures--the landscape and atmosphere, the tonal integrity, the dynamic symmetry of the French countryside, his actors, and time sequence in a way that few can. Certainly, this film is a tribute to film-making, regardless of nationality.

Set in 1962 when all France was abuzz and alerted to the Algerian war and crisis, Techine micromanages the time/place/conflict into a boarding school setting. And while, indeed, it is a "coming of age" story in good form, cinema as art is not lost on Techine (nor generally the French!). Featuring praiseworthy performances of Iodie Bouchez and Gael Morel, the film dwells on, but not exclusively, their relationship--which is not without its trauma, drama, and poignancy. The two boys acknowledge their deep-rooted relationship, which is beauty itself. Unfortunately, love does not conquer all, as the romanticists would have us believe (and the vicious politics of the time rears its ugly head too often). Clearly, Techine's juxtaposition of their relationship--sexual and otherwise--is beautifully and sensitively done. The soundtrack, too, is worthy of praise (even the American pop music lends to the film's credence). Viva la France. And Techine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent acting and story with intelligence, truth and honest. , 26 Sep 2006
One of my favourite film and the best foregin language film I have seen. This is the moive from grown-up people. I fell in love with all the characters, music and amazingly mature performances from its cast. This is the film for everyone. If you like the romantic drama such as Christian Faure's Juste une question d'amour, you will definitely love this film. Hopefully, this film will be available to purchase on Amazon very soon.
