Brilliant example

The film "My King" received the audience's admiration. According to people who visited the premiere screening of the painting, melodrama is a brilliant example of demonstrating a complete immersion in love in the conditions of absolute absence of insurance, the inexplicability of this beautiful feeling. During an impressive time frame of 124 minutes, the picture makes the viewer simultaneously immerse themselves in the situations and characters of the characters and easily perceive their surface slip in life: the heroes make decisions on emotions, do not think through the consequences, they always have feelings prevailing over the mind.

Synopsis

Melodrama "My King" critics received also supportive, although many experts did not forget to note that the actress directed the tape. Indeed, the Frenchwoman Maivenne Le Besco played in the projects of Luc Besson "Leon" and "The Fifth Element", after trying on herself the incarnation of a screenwriter and director. A worthy confirmation of her professionalism in the new field is the success of the film "My King" at the festival in Cannes in 2015. The painting received two nominations for the "Golden Palm": for the best film and for the best female role. The award in the first nomination, unfortunately, passed by, but in the second deservedly played the leading role of Emmanuel Berko.

The structure of the narrative of the tape is a series of flashbacks exhausted, suffering to the extreme Tony, emerging gradually into a complex mosaic of the relationship between women and men. The narrative of the film drama "My King" was criticized by filmmakers for some confusion. According to their authoritative opinion, the skipping storyline, in which the heroes often throws from boundless happiness into the abyss of despair and back, does not allow the viewer to build all the events in chronological order.

Plot

Gathered to see the movie "My King", reviews and the storyline described by the commentators, it is not worth reading, since they can spoil the impression of viewing.

The film begins with the fact that the main character Tony (Emmanuel Berko), skiing, breaks his leg. And now, being in the hospital completely alone and practically without the ability to move, she devotes all her time to remembering her life and trying to analyze it. Memories begin with a party where she 10 years ago met Giorgio (Vincent Cassel). This usual meeting grew into a dizzying romance and all-consuming love between two such different people. They spent a lot of time with each other and quickly began to live together.

Then there was a very beautiful and noisy wedding and then a pregnancy. And just at this moment between them the first quarrels occur. Tony began to suspect her lover of betrayal. These suspicions did not leave Tony alone and tortured her. She increasingly manifested her jealousy, which led to serious conflicts between them, and Giorgio almost ceased to appear in their common house. What will be the result of such emotional throwings of the heroine? Will she be able to understand herself, her feelings and desires? Can he forgive his husband and experience the suffering that he brought to her? Only after understanding these questions will Tony be able to find peace of mind.

Playing on the nerves

Not without reason, the tape "My King" reviews and opinions was mixed. Positively minded reviewers in their opuses pointed out that the director builds the narrative according to the associative principle, that is, one memory clings and serves as a prologue for the next one. Those who did not appreciate the author's design of the director skeptically noticed that Maivenne Le Besco is just playing on the nerves of the viewer and the characters, with whom the beholder wants to cry, laugh, scream, psychic and be touched. Many seasoned filmmakers paid attention to the fact that a sharp change of emotions and growing, like a snowball, the stress sometimes difficult to make, especially sensitive and vulnerable individuals. Other authors, publishing reviews, enthusiastically applauded the director for the fact that during the viewing it is impossible to relax for a second, as the calm necessarily in the next moment provokes a storm.

Cinema of talented actors

Tape "My King" reviews received approving thanks to the delightful cast. To treat the main character Giorgio badly does not work, this is the merit of the performer of the role, the charismatic Vincent Cassel. The sincerity of the performer demonstrated on the screen is simply disarming, his character is honest in everything: in words and deeds. The owner of the "Cesar" award has repeatedly proved his unprecedented amazing talent for reincarnation, playing the role of different characters. The most significant projects in his filmography are films like "Hatred", "Black Swan", "Apartment", "Jason Bourne", "Ocean's 13 Friends" and "Crimson Rivers".

French actress Emmanuel Berko, performing the mission of the emotional conductor, throughout the narrative strikingly "charges" the beholder, tuning the viewer to the right note of emotions.

The role of the laconic and modest brother of the main character was performed by Louis Garrel, who was brilliant in "Dreamers" and in "Imaginary Love".

All the actors brilliantly turned into images of their characters. Heroes from the submission of performers encourage each viewer to empathize, thus helping the viewer to feel the full range of emotions from viewing, to compare himself with the characters of the film. It is their efforts that make the melodrama realistic and close in spirit to everyone.

My review of the film "My King" was acknowledged by the majority of film critics as a colossal, painstaking work, for which the director deserves a big award.
