Review of Humanité (1999) by Jeff B — 31 May 2007
French film that won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes in 99 (along with Actor and Actress). It's a really character driven film. I like a review I read that described it as "beautiful and disturbing 2 hours and 20 minutes, with only 40 minutes of plot".
This film isn't for everyone, it is very slow, long shots that seem like nothing is happening. I didn't mind the shots, they were great to look at, and the lead actor did a great job of acting with speaking.
Overall, it's a slow movie, but I think it will stay with me. I guess I'd compare it with Taste of Cherry, I don't know if in the end I really enjoyed the movie, but I'll remember it.
