I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Am I Missing Something?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Blistering performances.

I speak French and lived in Rouen (where the movie was filmed) for a year. I watch French films almost to the exclusion of other genres. I figure one needs to watch about 10 French films to find at least one of value. This is not the one. I have never ended a film before it was over but pulled this one out of the DVD player after about 45 minutes. The characters were perhaps a bit more believable than the ones in "La Potiche" but not by much. The situations weren't much more believable than the characters and the film in general is depressing and slow. I avoid action/3-D films and generally search out films of a more mundane and life-like quality but couldn't find those qualities in this picture. I even survived watching "La moustache" the whole way through but couldn't take this one. Ugghhh...

When I wrote about Agnes Jaoui's "Comme une image" (2004)aka "Look at me", I called it a triple triumph for its writer/director/star. I should have reserved the definition for her debut, The Taste of Others (2000) which was nominated for the Oscar as The Best Foreign Film and for nine Cesars. The film received four Cesars, including two for Jaoui, for Best film and Best Writing that she shared with her off-screen husband and co-star/co-writer, Jean-Pierre Bacri. The film deserves them all. It belongs to one of my favorite genres of different kind of comedy, subtle, depending not on laughing out loud situations and the funny clichés but on the genuineness of the characters and their interactions. It is a character driven film, and every character is alive, real, often weak and even boring but as their stories interweave, we began to see how much the movie has to say about many important things and how well it did so. What really attracts me to Agnes Jaoui's film is non-judgment of the main characters but the interest to and understanding them. This is the French film in the best meaning of the word - not glamorous, without expensive set decorations or breathtakingly beautiful lead heroes whose passion would burn the screen, no, it is quiet, ironic, elegantly constructed, it moves on its own relaxed pace, but it never drags, and its every word, smile, look, and sound combine in a wonderful watching experience. I also see it as a young writer/director/star's comment on the importance of art in our lives, and how it can really change a person and their outlook. One more thing, I simply admire Jaoui's taste in music. The scores for this film and for "Look at Me" include the examples of some of the most beautiful classic music ever written.

"Le goût des autres", or "The Taste of Others" is a French movie and therefor already not so accessible to many of you. Personally I'm used to subtitles (over here we only get to see the movies in the original version, so always with subtitles), but I know that many of you aren't. But no problem, because I guess this is a movie that will only be seen by people that like European movies anyway. Don't expect any Hollywoodian action scenes or big explosions. This is a movie about love, appreciating each others opinions,...This movie has been built around six characters. Three men and three women who have completely different tastes and opinions are brought together by circumstance. Castella is the owner of a trucking company who is married to a jobless interior decorator (only because her taste is awful). When his wife takes him to a play, he sees Clara, a forty-year-old actress, who isn't all too successful in her career. He immediately falls in love with her and tries to find ways to be with her as much as possible. Bruno is Castella's driver and Franck is his temporary bodyguard while he negotiates a contract with Iranians. Trough Bruno, Franck meets Manie, a barmaid who deals hash. They begin an affair...In my opinion this movie lacked something, although I'm not really able to describe what it was. It just never grabbed me by the throat and pulled me completely into its story. Perhaps I'm a bit too young for this movie (I'm in my late twenties) and therefor maybe not really able to fully understand the world in which these people live (midlife crisis, so many uncertainties at an age that you can't deal with them anymore...). I don't know what it was, it just didn't completely work for me.It's not that I don't like non-American movies, because I certainly do. A large part of the movies that I've seen are European and a few come from Asia and South-America. If I would make a "favorite movies-list", you might be surprised of how many 'foreign' movies can be found in it. I love the Italian, Scandinavian and Spanish movies most, but I also enjoyed several Belgian (let me be a bit of a good patriot for once), German and French movies, but I'm afraid this one will not be a part of that list.Anyway, as this movie teaches us: everybody is entitled to have his own opinion. It's not because I didn't like it, that you shouldn't enjoy it. I give it a 5.5/10, but I could understand it when you say you liked it.

As an actress, Agnès Jaoui is a gorgeous and very appealing woman. But as a director, she falls flat. There's simply no point in this tedious bit of French life where nobody is decisive, nobody cares about much of anything, and nothing progresses anywhere. In addition, none of the other actors are appealing--indeed, apart from the bodyguards, all the others are remarkably frumpy. The bodyguards are no work of joy either, since they are both bored and boring. No "Vive la France"; it's "La France est mort" instead. Even Jaoui's performance is unsatisfying, since she plays all her in-bed scenes wearing a leotard (a French Doris Day?).
