Les beaux souvenirs

This film has some wonderful pictures , but it could have been more elaborate on the whole . Its the story of a young woman, Marie , who go spends some time with Viviane , and they both recalling memories of when they were younger. The dialogues and screenplay by Ducharme is not as funny and intelligent as in LES BONS DÉBARRAS, and if we compare the acting , Monique Spaziani ( Marie ) is not as convincing as Charlotte Laurier in LES BONS DÉBARRAS . But its still a pretty good movie. A fair illustration - but with a lot of technical mistakes - about suicide , heroin , despair , family relations , in my view , Mankiewicz makes some of the best psychological films , that's for sure .
