Structurally reminiscent in certain ways to Krzystzof Kieslowski's Three Colors Trilogy and Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon, (its literary inspiration was Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet) it takes the idea of ever-expanding narrative webs to an exciting new level. The first film is a fast-paced thriller, the second a romantic comedy, and the third a melodrama; each of the feature length films can be seen alone, but each feature narrative gaps that can only be filled by viewing the other films. Seen together they're a remarkably cohesive and satisfying achievement that has the effect of creating a fourth film that exists only in the viewer's mind. Director Lucas Belvaux himself plays one of the lead roles, accompanied brilliantly by Dominique Blanc, Catherine Frot, Ornella Muti, Gilbert Melki, and François Morel AFTER THE LIFE (APRÈS LA VIE) - The final installment in Belvaux's masterful
trilogy is a melodrama that follows Pascal, a cop who seeks a redemption of
credibility in the capture of escaped convict Bruno, who in turn is harbored
by Pascal's morphine-addicted wife Agnes. Pascal's already precarious ties to
Agnes are strained further when he meets and falls for her fellow schoolteacher
friend Cecile. With Pascal focused on Bruno and Cecile, Agnes is forced to find
a fix on her own. Genre: Crime / Drama MPAA Rating: Not Rated Offical Site: The Official After Life Site (French) Movie Poster: Allposters DVD/VHS: Amazon |
