Overrated and overhyped
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Excellent movie and one largely overlooked beautiful thing about it is the music - old songs, from 30. and 40. and 50. One may wonder whether anything shown in there happened in reality as Victoria Foyt plays it quite convincingly.... It is also interesting that the director directed his wife's nude scenes... Amazing film, done largely in the manner of filming documentary drama, and that was in 1997! However, whenever I see a movie like this I think why on earth directors do not put children in such stories.... because when children are there, there is no room for good romance or finding the love of your life.... it's just that simple :-(
Dana is a young woman about to be married to Alex, her fiancé and business partner. On a trip to Isreal, a lady at the local cafe tells her a story about the love of her life. The older woman met him in Paris but never saw him again, despite his promises. She leaves a piece of jewelry behind. All of a sudden, Dana is in Paris, trying to track down the woman, then she hops to Dover, where she meets Sean. Sean is painting in the open air on top of, you guessed it, the white cliffs of Dover. They instantly fall in love but there are numerous complications, including the fact that Sean is married. But, given the lady in Israel's circumstances, should anything discourage Dana from following her heart and her man? This is a very strange movie. The basic plot outline is acceptable. But, the story and dialogue appear to have been made up on the spot! The whole thing zigzags worse than a bumblebee in a field of flowers and some pretty inane things come out of the characters' mouths. True love is a subject dear to everyone's heart but this movie takes an awful long time getting to the point. The actors are all fine and the settings nice. But, for most of the viewers across the globe, this will be a most boring movie. No need for a deja vu, one view, at most, will be sufficient.
Dana, played by Victoria Foyt, is a woman not in control of her life. You get the feeling she is bumbling about, directed by friends around her. Not until the very end does she realize she can be in control of her life. A believable story, showing how apparently small events change the course of our lives.Excellent dialogue, you feel as though you're eavesdropping on the conversations, rather than hearing words from a screenplay. Excellent photography. Victoria Foyt and her husband, Henry Jaglom, wrote the screenplay. He also directed the picture. Good music, including some good old popular songs.
"Deja Vu" is a romantic love story but not the usual fare with hearts and flowers or sweaty sex. This film follows a chance encounter abroad between a betrothed woman on business travel and a local married artist. During the run, the film wanders around the couple and sundry other people - family, friends, etc. - as it examines, explores, studies, ponders, analyzes, etc. issues of fate and destiny as they relate to love. "Deja Vu" offers a whole lot of dialogue, some faces we don't see too often, a kind of a fresh motif for a moldy subject, a generally pleasant story albeit somewhat trite and corny at times, and is salted with variety of coincidences large and small and even dabbles in the paranormal. An enjoyable romance which will play best with mature romantics, especially females. (B)
