Watch Angel-A For Free

I love this movie so much

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I guess every man wants a Angel A. She's so pretty,considerate and do everything he says. Andre's a loser by any standards and Angel comes down from heaven to save his life. It won't happen actually but the film makes it come true. I love the film so much that I took the poster as my wallpaper of my phone.

This film is about Andre Moussah, a broke man on the edge with debts to pay, in beautiful Paris, France. He jumps off one of the city's bridges one early Sunday morning to save a beautiful woman named Angela. She is tall, blonde, fast talking, intelligent , and ready to help Andre out any way she can. The movie is beautifully done in black and white with Paris in all its glory. Andre and Angela make an unlikely couple but Angela isn't who she appears to be. The actors do a first rate job in making me love this pair. I love the music. Luc Besson is a brilliant director who also wrote the screenplay. Besides being serious, this film is a lot of fun to watch anyway. You wish to be like Angela.

A quirky drama – sci-fi –thriller, romance ... set in Paris which forms a tremendous backdrop to this black and white movie. Sometimes I didn't know whether to look at the scenery or pay attention to the dialogue which is very fast-paced – to the point of being unrelenting. It's a good performance by Jamel Debbouze who gets involved in a very peculiar relation with Rie Rasmussen. Sometimes this works, at other times it just seems a little too flashy and over the top. The main character (played by Jamel Debbouze) has a truck-load of problems and the resolutions to some of them are just a little too neat.Nevertheless the two main characters do enthrall us with the Parisian backdrop.

Angel-A is the title of a lesser-known film by famous french director Luc Besson (Fifth Element) shot in black and white mostly in Paris. It's also the name of the leading female character : a tall, thin and beautiful blonde with a mysterious past. The story tells of the unlikely relationship between that woman and a small rather ordinary-looking American (looking Moroccan) in deep trouble because of debts (played by Jamel Debouze, the one-armed grocer from Amélie). What strikes viewers first after the black and white is the difference in height between Angel-A and the "hero", as well as their very contrasting looks. We have a pretty "odd couple" after a dramatic first encounter.The film is very well shot with dynamic camera angles. It's not really an action film, nor a comedy, nor a drama. The closest description might be an unconventional buddy/romance dramedy hybrid. I liked the relationship between the two leads although some will get stuck at how very unlikely it seems. To be fair, the initial premise (of which I cannot tell too much) seems a bit like a teen's fantasy come to life. The pace is good and I was never bored even in quieter moments. The cinematography is top-notch sometimes playing with heights or characters looking straight at the camera (or the viewer) for dramatic purposes. The accents in french sometimes made the protagonists hard to understand (especially Angel-A with her Scandinavian accent) and unfortunately it sometimes sabotaged good moments. However, for English viewers (the movie is subtitled not dubbed), this would be a non-issue. The acting is slightly exaggerated and unequal, particularly from Angel-A who ranges from bad to great. Again, this sometimes hurts the suspension of disbelief. I would like to mention a great dramatic scene when both main characters look at a mirror. This was a really special powerful scene. So all in all, I liked the film, found it entertaining, sometimes touching, but it has flaws.Rating : 7 out of 10
