Review of Regrets (2009) by Mathieu F — 28 Nov 2010
The beginning is promising: Mathieu, 40-something-years-old loses his mother to cancer and, having come back to his native town near Paris, meets by happen-stance his once-lover, Maya. The love they once felt for each other comes back kicking and disturb the life they had built until now.
However, past this idea, Cedric Kahn doesn't know what to do with his characters and with his story. So he simply films these two people loving and hating each other and unsure of what they feel toward each other. For the viewer this is rapidly boring, even more so when, like me, you don't appreciate Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi very much.
Boring, the kind of films feeling like you saw it already a dozen times. Some good shots at the beginning (and one in the middle) but rapidly the shooting descends into the banal while the story is synonymous with the tedious.
