Review of Breaking and Entering (2006) by Chun L — 02 Feb 2009
My second Juliette Binoche film this week. The first was unintelligible French nonsense (Cache) and this one isn't. Good acting, particularly from Binoche as a single Bosnian mother with a base-jumping, burglar son, and Jude Law as the bloke with an autistic daughter and a problem marriage who inevitably falls for the lovely Juliette.
Who wouldn't? The supporting cast are good too with Martin Freeman as Law's architect partner, Robin Wright Penn as Law's on-the-edge wife and the darkly comic turn by whomever it was that played the prostitute.
Anthony Minghella was responsible for some great episodes of Morse before getting big in films. This film has that same studied and poetic vision of London that he acheived with Oxford. Well worth a couple of hours of your time.
