Content does contain some reference to scenes but not detailed spoilers I am really sorry to report that "Rue Huvelin" was a Great disappointment I can confidently say that I did not leave the theater in respect with the cause and felt nauseated all through the film. I really hope the theater where I watched is to blame since the picture, sound quality and the introduction: Were a complete disaster. The picture quality is almost all dead completely dim lighting and dead skin tone color (as if they filmed it entirely with florescent DeDo lights)i would understand the purpose of creating a mood but not for the entire film. For the sound I had to read the subtitles in almost the entire movie since the background sound was so loud and couldn't hear the main characters ( as if it was all recorded using a low quality boom mic)For the camera movement and shot list: Also a disaster where the camera movement left me with a feeling of nausea and the cutting was horribly done and many shots were out of focus entirely (ex: the scene in the bathroom and the action in the mirror) many of the scenes failed due to lack of close up and we missed so many small details that would leave the audience unaware of what "this" shot is trying to show Story: The student sexual relationship was horribly portrayed and irrelevant with the main point of the movie it was too exaggerated not in the sexual sense but it was too present and irrelevant with the publicity the film got.And there was too much irrelevant scenes that had nothing to do with the main characters or cause or story (scene where the guy calls a girl after seeing his friend having his Gf over) All in all I would like to encourage the Lebanese youth in exploring the film and directing field and to show sincerely what the students passed through in that time but unfortunately this film came to a great disappointment with all my respect to the cause in which I was involved and supported with all my heart I really hope that the theater I watched it at (Sodeco cinema) is to be blamed ( I seriously feel they skipped a good part of the beginning starting of randomly and hope that one of the speakers responsible for the main characters audio was off since these 2 things alone cannot allow this movie to be in theater and can only make it a university project or a film to be watched at school. I tried to consider it a documentary but still it didn't succeed in this type
My apologies if my point of view is too harsh but I was hoping this film would show the rest of the world what really happened and what we passed through but it failed ( people in the theater were laughing at dramatic sad moments they were crying of laughter and there was a general numbness in the theater not wanting to express their nausea and disappointment we even asked the theater to higher the sound if possible they tried but nothing changed and in some parts the sound was good so it must have been the onset sound) Best regards and better luck next time update: instead of taking criticism like adults you just rate my point of view as bad well there were much more professional points of views that roamed around the same subject as mine and they got the same peace of cake but the rating is clear... Good luck
