Advantages: A rare EP from Julianne with even rarer extras on Amazon! Disadvantages: Some of the tracks are a bit TOO different from her usual fare
Jules Et Jim was another of Julianne Regans side projects that she explored after the original break up of her more famous band All About Eve. After the end of Mice (my "Because I Can" album review is also available on here) she had a break for 1 year before hooking up with Jean-Marc Lederman in 1999, the band as an entity only released 1 single (Swimming, which isn't on this release oddly enough) and this EP.
Julianne Regan wrote & performed all vocals (apart from one) whilst Jean-Marc Lederman played all the instruments.
So whats on Subtitles then?
01 - If Life Were A Movie.
There are lots of movie references in this, I'll admit I can't spot half of them. Its got a great upbeat chorus which really makes a good contrast to the down toned main verses. Theres lots of drums (a drum machine I assume) but the other instruments are ...
Advantages: Utterly compelling, great performances Disadvantages: None for me
really quite chilling despite this and could provide sensitive children with nightmares, so parents may want to check it out before allowing them to watch.
The film is a French/Dutch collaboration and as such, is subtitled. I was expecting it to be in French, which, for the most part, it is, but there is some dialogue in Dutch and the beginning and occasionally throughout the film. The subtitles are excellent, which is just as well as this is very much a film based on dialogue. I love French and was able to understand a little of what was being said without reading the subtitles, but those who struggle with reading subtitles may find it tiring. Certainly, this is not a film during which you can have a lapse of concentration. There is a Hollywood version of the film starring Jeff Bridges and Kiefer Sutherland (also directed by Sluizer), which ...
Advantages: Good cast Disadvantages: Plot holes, film is too long
has been given such a high certification. It could quite easily have been given a 15 or even a12. An 18 seems rather excessive.
THE RATING
If you?re a diehard war film you might enjoy this. Plot holes aside it?s just about watchable. I doubt I?d watch it again. I can?t give it more than 2 out of 5. Ebay, here comes this DVD...
