5.0 out of 5 stars Cinematic Masterpiece, May 11, 2005

By 

Franck Moore (Providence, RI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Doctor Chance [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you love poetry, rage, dream, passion, exigency and romantism ; if you think that beauty can be an ideal and cinema can be new ; you will love "Docteur Chance", a jewel of cinematic poetry.

2.0 out of 5 stars Style without substance or plot, January 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Doctor Chance (DVD)

This is a film which is heavy on style but unfortunately has no substance whatsoever and only minimal vestiges of a plot (contract killer and prostitute go on the run through Chile pursued by a drug/art forgery ring, though why is never entirely clear). As such, it's not really a road movie or a gangster movie or a romance, just an opportunity for a few stylish French actors and actresses to stand around murmuring cod philosophy in tres chic clothing. Plus there's an appearance from the late Joe Strummer, who plays "Vince Taylor" (an obscure-yet-hip reference to the '60's rocker who wrote "Brand New Cadillac", which Strummer's band The Clash recorded a cover version of on "London Calling") and is onscreen for maybe 10 minutes max despite having fourth billing in the credits.

In short, "Doctor Chance" is a film that thinks it's a lot cooler than it really is and isn't really worth 96 minutes of anyone's time. 2 stars for being stylish, 0 stars for the rest.
