Runtime: 90 minutes

Starring:
Jean-Paul Delmondo
Jean Seberg
Plot:
Filmed in black and white despite the use of colour coming into use in the film industry in 1935 with the film Becky Sharp by Rouben Marmoulian (this was the first film which was considered a real full length film, but colour was used before this too between the 1920s and 1930s.)
A Bout de Souffle is about a small time criminal Michel Pioccard, who is living in Paris. He has stolen a car, and in the mix he killed the police officer persuing him, no longer a small time thief, he then tries to persuade a young American journalist working in Paris to run away to Italy ...
Advantages: Excellent film, stunning animation & voiceovers, there's 2 moose in it! Disadvantages: Didn't get rated as highly by others as it should've been
(aka the spare room) they are now taking over the house. It has even got to the stage now where I'm planning outfits for my babies (buying moose babygrows on eBay) when hubby and I haven't even started trying to get pregnant yet.
Anyway, I digress slightly - after a while I am finally in the mood to write again, and write I will - quite honestly all any consumer really needs to know about Brother Bear is that it's a fantastic film and it must be watched, so any words I write on top of that are surely a bonus.
Brother Bear
Imagine my absolute delight back in 2003 when Disney's Brother Bear was released, and I found out that that there were two moose characters in it. Off I trotted to the cinema with Graeme, and watched what was to become one of my all-time top 5 favourite films (it's an especially good one to ...
Connie Nielsen, who has played pivotal roles in such English-language films as GLADIATOR, THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, and RUSHMORE, is the powerful and emotional heart of BROTHERS, a moving Danish film set in her home country. Directed by Susanne Bier (who made the Dogme 95 film OPEN HEARTS), BROTHERS tells the story of two very different brothers: Jannik (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is a drunken loser who has just been released from prison for bank robbery and assault, while Michael (Ulrich Thomsen) is a well-respected army major and family man, with a wife, Sarah (Nielsen), and two kids. But when Michael goes off on a mission to Afghanistan to rescue a captured radar man, his helicopter is shot down and he is assumed to have been killed in action. The news devastates Sarah and her in-laws, while Jannik becomes more reckless before stepping in to help her and the kids build a new life. But as Jannik and Sarah grow close, it is discovered that Michael has survived - and has done something that haunts him and threatens everything and everyone. Bier's film is filled with tender moments as well as bitter, frightening, fast-paced scenes that are hard to forget. Nielsen is a standout as Sarah, who tries to balance love and loss and then love again with a man she's not sure she knows anymore.
Excellent...gripping...Nielsen is a revelation (Heat, )
It's the best film about conflict and coming back from the dead that I've ever seen. If forced to choose, it would be a film I'd engrave on my tomb (The Times, )
Superb (Total Film, )
