Action | Crime | Drama | Music | Romance | Thriller
Twenty-eight-year-old Tom leads a life that might be termed as criminal. In doing so, he follows in the footsteps of his father, who made his money from dirty, and sometimes brutal, real estate deals. Tom is a pretty hard-boiled guy but also strangely considerate as far as his father is concerned. Somehow he appears to have arrived at a critical juncture in his life when a chance encounter prompts him to take up the piano and become a concert pianist, like his mother. He senses that this might be his final opportunity to take back his life. His piano teacher is a Chinese piano virtuoso who has recently come to live in France. She doesn't speak a lick of French so music becomes the only language they have in common.

Tout ce qui brille / All That Glitters (2010)
Comedy
Two young ladies from France attempt to scale the ladder of Parisian society, but find that the new social circles have unexpectedly negative consequences, in this gentle, observant drama from first-time co-writer/director Geraldine Nakache. Close gal pals Lila (Leila Bekhti) and Ely (Nakache) may technically be "working class," but both hail from pleasant and stable families, in the quiet neighborhood of Puteaux, just outside of the City of Lights. The allure of the Paris elite is too strong for the women to resist, however, and they begin to pick up tips and tricks from a women's magazine on how to infiltrate haute society. Each girl carves a unique path for herself: Lila meets wealthy Maxx (Simon Buret) at a bar and attaches herself to him. Ely, on the other hand, takes a job babysitting the son of fashion photographer Agathe (Virginie Ledoyen) and her top model, Joan (Linh-Dan Pham), which means that the young woman gets to spend countless evenings with the child in a gorgeous apartment that boasts a spectacular view of The Eiffel Tower. But the new social circles begin to take their toll, both on a familial level – as when Ely's cabbie dad (Daniel Cohen) gets humiliated in front of his daughter's new friends – and on a romantic level, as when Lila lies to her Puteaux boyfriend about her real motives. And to make matters worse, the friendship between Lily and Ely begins to strain and crack under the pressure of each woman's headstrong social advancement.

De force (2011)
Action
It's all downhill after a twitchy, tense and music-free opening, in which a Corsican criminal mastermind (Simon Abkarian) stages an attack on an armored car. Officer Damico (Adjani) gets carte blanche to round up his gang and calls on jailbird acquaintance Makarov (Cantona), who (initially) refuses to help. Setup is neat, down to Damico's worries about her juvenile-delinquent son (Pierre Stevenin, terrible), but as the plot grows increasingly absurd, the film proves incapable of sustaining any kind of urgency or tension. The ensemble, which includes distaff stars Anne Consigny and Linh-Dan Pham, seems more drowsy than world-weary, while the '80s-sounding score further slows down the proceedings. Look is perfectly generic; title means "By Force."
