...Well another film review and another one with Dustin Hoffman and another one that won an academy award. Im reviewing the 1988 hit drama "Rain Man" starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. Hoffman's role for this film won him an academy award for best actor and it certainly deserved. Like most films that were made before my time I grew up watching them at a young age, my mum worked for a film marketing company and therefore I was always given a chance to watch all the new films, and some of the old one's.

Disadvantages: To list a few, it was boring, weak and unnmemorable

...Let's Talk About The Rain is the third film that was directed by Agnès Jaoui the film takes its name from a song written by George Brassens. Before I begin let me say that if the song is as bad as the film then it is not worth listening to. This film is boring from the start and as a lover of films I definitely was not a lover of this film. Before releasing this film Jean-Pierre Bacri and his wife who also starred in this film worked together on a number of Alain Resnais films, including writing Smoking/No Smoking and Intimate Exchanges by Alan Ayckbourn. Let's Talk About The Rain is a French film in subtitles, rated 12 A with a running time of 100 minutes. Maybe it was the shoddy directing or the fact that this film lacked a decent plot, but the acting seemed weak at times. There was no real meat to this film and if there was then I... Read review
