It Was a Wonderful Life (1992)
Thought provoking and moving
This is an incredibly moving documentary, with a sober and terse narration. The fate of these women, at times pugnacious determined, at times hopeless and despondent, put homelessness in a new light for me, and left me wondering how it could be, in such a wealthy country, that women and mothers could be left with such a lack of protection and support. The memory of these 6 women will stay with you a long time after you've seen that documentary, especially if you watch it until the very end of the credits.
Le placard (2001)
Did you guys notice?
That the name of the main character in this movie (Francois Pignon) is the same as in three of Veber's previous movies (Le diner de cons, Les fugitifs and Les Comperes)? And the names of two of the main characters in Veber's "Le Jaguar" (Francois Perrin and Campana) are the same as in "La Chevre" (another really excellent comedy!) and Francois Perrin can also be found in "Le Jouet" (yet another great comedy). Somehow, is it always the same character surfacing from movie to movie, played by different actors? Not entirely! In any case, this is a fun movie, don't miss it!
