Absolutely brilliant
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The movie is a blast, i have never watched anything like this before.Most of the person i have seen the movie with was totally disappointed.They were expecting a funny movie.However it worked on me.It s not a question about french jokes or what, it s the way Baffie makes it. Insolent, pitiful, stupid??? Maybe, but according to me, the movie will get a better public later on. It s like a Van Gogh creation, people will admire it few years later.At least a risk-taker.I was told that the director was really affected by the french public rejects.I'm proud not to be one of them.Mr Baffie, keep on!And even if the trailer said 'dont go watching it, it s a crap !', its an original.Can we have some more?
Although there were actually people who left half an hour after the movie started, I loved it. The movie's for those who want to see how these things work "backstage". Baffie provided all the details about how the movie industry works: the producers, the actors, plot development, everything. It is an excellent example of any of "The Making of..." short films you usually see as a bonus on a DVD. It is a totally absurd film, made by an impertinent, reckless and blatant TV hero, and this is what makes it even more interesting, despite the fact that almost all the french movie stars appear as guests.A wonderful debut.
The movie is an homage to La Nuit Américaine of François Truffaut. But in a more goofy way. After that Laurent Baffie gave the definition of a good movie (It must have action, romance, children, animals, gags, a happy ending and so on), he's trying to make one. And he's not really successful at it. According to his main actor. Les Clefs de Bagnole is full of references, cameos and special guests. I found it quite clever considering that Baffie's TV career is mostly based on bad "under the belt" jokes. It's a journey, a quest like the search for the Holy Grail (only this time it's car keys). He likes people, actors and cinema. After that movie, you can tell. I gave it a solid Seven because it made me laugh out loud several times.
I ended up going to see that movie cause i sort of like Laurent Baffie's nasty humor. And at the beginning i have to say there is nothing to be disappointed about. Unfortunately after half an hour you realize you don't laugh anymore and little by little it gets longer and longer. Even if you're aware that the film is purposely pointless ( who would care about a guy who lost his car keys?) you cannot but let go big yawns during the strange scenes and (yes) the few good ideas. I clearly understood good ideas don't necessarily make good movies. Just do as the trailers say : "don't go see that s**t!" Now you're warned...i rated it 5 out of 10 cause of this terrific tagline. Yes sometimes taglines work...
