...without the canny direction of Jacques Audiard and the appealing work of Romain Duris as the muscle man-musician. His efforts to reclaim himself are told with irony, a touch of almost unspoken romance and surprising, but plausible, results as the movie moves from noirish darkness to the more sunlit realms of artistic aspiration...
...Auckland redevelopment. With the original 1887 French chateau?style building overrun by storage and an unwieldy airconditioning system, Francis-Jones was faced with a similarly tricky heritage site.

Elsewhere the censorship of the Hays office produced kisses that culminated in horses rearing, waves crashing, flames leaping. Or the camera would cut heavenward through sunlit trees...
