De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté (2005)
(The Beat that My Heart Skipped)
Country: FR
Technical: col 107m
Director: Jacques Audiard
Cast: Romain Duris, Niels Arestrup, Lin-Dan Pham, Emmanuelle Devos
Synopsis:
An accidental meeting with his mother's former agent induces a young thug to take up the piano again, which causes some clashes with his business life steering shady property deals.
Review:
A remake of Toback's film Fingers; Audiard adds a typically polar atmosphere of urban indifference, with some deeply unappealing human behaviour on display. The musical elements are handled in sufficient detail to justify the film as not just another story of a criminal débâcle, and the acting is good. Once again the director appears drawn towards stories in which characters reinvent themselves.
