Le Deuxieme Souffle

This is a 2 and a half hour French gangsta epic shot beautifully with perfect casting. The director Alain Corneau was on hand for questions and was so sweet. It was like a film noir class in 10 minutes. Saw the press conference on Bell Expressvu (channel 307) and Monica Bellucci looked beautiful as always. In the film - set in the 60s - she was blonde and looked alot like Sharon Stone in Casino (but more curvy, confident and resolved). Very violent with a lot of fast-paced, dense dialogue. See this if you'd always wanted to see a film like Godfather II, but in French. MMm
