Carbone

What a movie! Really enjoyed it. good depiction of the Parisian nightlife and all the trouble that comes with it

The first half is very boring, with the long and slow introduction at the beginning, the fraud, however the second half develops with a little more action, comes out of inertia with scenes of violence, aggression and extortion... A good plot Franco-Belgian, interesting and realistic outcome... And with true nuances about the use of Carbon by the two countries and their losses...

Hi Folks, I hope you follow me when I say Un-Movie: it is all that Holliwood does not know how to do at this moment in time (And they know a lot, I love their movies, but sometime, they don't push enough, because of the kids they have to show their movies to - money of course) I mean great scenario, great actors, but also no nice feelings, a little like Goodfellas, (but without the movie filter) meaning if reality punches, it does; there is no savior, no crying guy or woman, or child saving the « hero »; it feels real; like you lost your wife, your kid, or your mother...Does that bother you ? Get over it; it is called life, and will never stop; this is just a reminder, not whatever else you are thinking about; this movie will trigger you in a good sense, build you, inspire you (well I hope: I am thinking in terms of well being of the others, not robbing the VAT of europe btw) If you need a hero, don't watch it, if you need a guilty guy, don't watch it, if you need some kind of moral, watch your favorite BS John Wayne movie; if you require the real thing or at least (I am not naive here, I know there is worse) something that comes close, watch it. Olivier Marshall has directed a few movies that come down to one thing at the end: reality in its crust; you like it, or keep playing candy crush, which I am guessing, most of you do!

The story depicted in the movie is true and son of the most idiot Kyoto protocol in regards of climate. Paris agreement - totally useless and not even applied - hasn't fixed the issue at all.

The movie has some exaggeration but is well done. Suggested.
