4.0 out of 5 stars french cinema for discerning ...., February 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Don't Let Me Die On a Sunday (DVD)

This film is quite exceptional, because it is a study of the social climate of the last decade, with references to sex and death. The plot revolves around the dysfunctional relationship between the lead characters (a morgue worker and an ecstacy junkie), an aids victim, a guy with suicidal tendencies, a person obsessed with orgies and a guy with no love life. In this film, the director has done an excellent job in blurring the line between good and evil in a systematic way. Well worth watching if you are a fan of french cinema and can appreciate their somewhat sardonic view of life.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't let me live if I say anything good about this movie, February 10, 2012

This review is from: Don't Let Me Die On a Sunday (DVD)

Don't Let Me Die on a Sunday is a maybe OK idea in search of a proper execution, pun intended. The film cannot find its feet amid the swirling winds of half-baked declarations on the true nature of life and love. The director has placed his words in any available mouth - pun also intended - with no rhyme nor reason undercutting any attempt at finding real characterizations for his actors. Everyone in this is a philosopher regardless of who they actually might be. It's a puppet show, and the strings keep getting tangled up. Why did certain characters suddenly burst out with some idea? Was it part of who they were? And why did they speak so much about sex when so little of it is ever shown? Is this Didier LePecheur being coy? And the friend with AIDS? How very 1992. Seriously, this movie just pissed me off. No, it didn't "make me think" because I've thought about all this sophomoric crap more than I ever needed to, and there are certainly no new thoughts presented here nor even old ones presented in a new way. It's a hodge-podge. You can't simply line up ten characters and then give each of them a paragraph of your all-nighter dorm chats to spout. I've given it 2 stars for the idea that started it off.

2.0 out of 5 stars A curious film, October 13, 2011

This review is from: Don't Let Me Die On a Sunday (DVD)

It opens in club-land; flashing lights and writhing bodies. The protagonists work in a hospital, in the morgue. An event takes place that sets off a chain of responses; one, stunningly surprising. To mention the event would give the entire plot away. The plot becomes divergent. Weird things start happening. I continued watching, wondering what the point might be. It's certainly complicated. Club-land returns. More unfathomable stuff follows and then... It's a curious film on which the point was certainly missed by me.
