Movie Review of Women’s 6th Floor
Class relations are normalized in “Women, 6 th Floor,” a social comedy, funny and eventful dominated by incendiary performance by Fabrice Luchini. A nice little films like everything.
Jean-Louis (Fabrice Luchini) lives a quiet life and dull next to his wife Suzanne (Sandrine Kiberlain). Money is not a problem and they do not pose questions about the people around them. One day, the couple decided to return their good and replaced by the young and beautiful Maria (Natalia Verbeke). Gradually, Mr. feels attracted by the world of his Spanish home, neglecting the blow job, his marriage and relationship with his two children.
“Women of the 6th floor” is like those puffy orange juice vitamins. There is first the primary essence – the comic aspects – which works properly. The situations are enough but not too exaggerated, residing at once credible. The tone is brisk, the dialogue melts in your mouth and Fabrice Luchini knows better than anyone that register (it’s the third time he toured with the filmmaker Philippe Le Guya) and the haughty character. At his side, Sandrine Kiberlain camped to perfection this tiresome snob, the ostrich is satisfied with his sandbox.
The feature is also intended as a romance, an unlikely but not trivial, between an employer and employee. Despite some facilities and a finish that falls through, this consideration is not negligible. The director likes to film the feeling of love in turmoil and its staging, sensitive, informed and titillates the senses. Everything is available to the physical presence of Natalia Verbeke, both delicate and felt that generally comes out with the laurels.
The man behind “The year Juliet” and “The cost of living”, however, decided to wrap it all in social issues that sometimes leave dreaming, knowing that everything takes place in the 1960s in Paris. Explore the lifestyle of these women from the sixth floor – Spanish women who come to France to earn a crust – is rather interesting, especially as the crowd would be handsome in an effort to Almodovar. Except that see what the main character almost instantly amazed at what he does not know could be likened to a surplus of naivety. As if after long and difficult decades when the teacher ran his servants, he had to feel good by showing a cons-example of this situation, which is always a little insidious.
More enjoyable and entertaining as deep and complex, “Women of the 6th floor is a light comedy that will easily engage in a good mood. By not asking too many questions about the real messages, the laughter is not uncommon. A very good complemented to the excellent “Potiche” by Francois Ozon.
