![]() Isn't cinema BY DEFINITION about style? It is not a book on screen, after all. Which, as an argument about film, seems always ridiculous to me. On the contrary: they were equally bashed by the critics. Both films from Beineix, Diva and this one, weren't praised for its renewal. It is visually incredibly detailed for a film from begin 80's, which were usually bleak on purpose. The film has playful use of lights EVERYWHERE. ![]() The pleasure for the viewer lies elsewhere: the stylistic, colorful cinematography. Only real fans of either Beineix or the actors will keep their concentration until the very end. Most scenes are long and tedious (the film has a two hour runtime). Is this story very interesting? I wouldn't say so. ![]() ![]() ![]() We observe a man who tries to deal with his mistress and his alcoholic brother, and wants revenge for the death of his sister. It is more like an introverted, dramatic family member. La lune dans le caniveau is definitely different in comparison to director Beineix's much more straightforward crime film Diva (1981). ![]()
