Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au bon Dieu? (2014)
Pleasing
I don't like French movies in particular, but from time to time they make a good one ( like Les Intouchables) and this one certainly does go the "good" category.
From what I could see the movie was introducing a serious issue of France (its immigrants), but in a rather humorous way. The old couple just came in terms with their three daughters marrying a Jew, a Chinese and a Muslim and they put all their faith for a French son-in-law in the hands of their youngest daughter... So their nerves couldn't take it anymore when she brought home an African.
I have never saw the actors before, but I definitely enjoyed acting of the old couple and the father of the groom-to-be. The movie will make cry from laughing and wonder what would you do if your daughter/son brought home such in-laws.....We say that nowadays the world is connecting, cultures are melting together but when it hits also our private lives, I assume our reaction would be pretty similar to those of the old French couple.
Therefore I think this movie is fit for those who seek some comedy but also for those who like more "meaningful" movies.
The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014)
Incredible
I was very exited to see this movie and it didn't fail my expectations at all! I saw a few Bollywood movies, so I was very eager to see how they managed to incorporate the Indian colorfulness and the lively music into it.
The movie starts with a rather dark story line but then it becomes the story of life - of its variety and possibilities. Our characters are thrown into a new world - place unknown to them. They're afraid of being ostracized but they follow what they believe to be their fate and endure all the hardships with patience only innate to Indians! In my opinion the director managed to somehow unite the two cultures - the elegance of France and the playfulness of India. Everyone who is looking for a movie with a touching story, great actors and beautiful scenery does not have to search anymore, because this is it!!!
