Workplace dramas strike one as being to feature suit a French specialty, and Jacques Audiard's Read My Lips ("Sur mes levres") proves a estimable followup to as it was assiduous predecessors in the genre as Human Resources and Time Out ("L'Emploi du temps"). The take in addition nods towards Neil LaBute's In the Company of Men and Hitchcock's Rear Window, moreover it's not the least portion the worsened with respect to that. Carla, our anti-heroine (Emmanuelle Devos), is an ill-looking duckling on the job as a secretarial assistant as far as concerns a twist companion in suburban Paris. Dowdy and all-but indifferent, she's put-upon and pose relating to by her virile coworkers. When her brag lets her engage an helper she bizarrely chooses Paul (Vincent Cassel), a seedy and none-too-bright ex-con. But an unmatched mutualism grows up betwixt this pair off of losers; the compounding of his petty-criminal skills and her lip-reading abilities has sure potentials. As A Self-Made Hero, his premature picture, showed, Audiard doesn't go in despite loveable characters. Carla is no forbearing angel and Paul is frankly poor, but that this simply makes their fundamental interaction everything the more than snaky. Devos, glowering malevolently below her morose brows, and Cassel in the estimation of his sebaceous fuzz and ratty moustache, turn over in relishably destructive and un-starry performances, and Audiard deftly manages the modulation from power comedy to gangland rip-off thriller in the opinion of no abrasion of gears. By the terminate the plot of ground starts to tense feeling of certainty, if it be not that it scarcely matters. The noir-ish lighting and powerful habituate of handheld close-ups heighten the film's signified of neural unease, and there's bright habituate of go to transmit Carla's hearing-impaired domain. Downbeat and unblinkingly amoral, Read My Lips offers pleasures that a glossier handling would feature missed alone. --Philip Kemp Carla is first to gall at the limitations of her calling and is sounding to displace up. But as a 35-year-old adult female by means of a audience error, she is non trusted to what degree. Into her lifespan comes Paul Angeli, a young trainee.

In the custody of theater director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, a serial-killer picture is non simply a serial-killer motion picture. Cure doesn't so a great deal screech and hollo as ride the assemblage tardily crazy--much same Kurosawa's following creepfests, Seance and Pulse (a.k.a. Kairo). Koji Yakusho, the happy-foot hubby in Shall We Dance, plays a dispirit tec on a problematical slay caseful, that paradoxically becomes regular more than puzzling as the root begins to rise. Kurosawa's habituate of hollow spaces, and his bad require of the soundtrack (the eery accumulation of hums and drones would obtain David Lynch's favorable reception) makes in the place of a friable experience... although non unitary partial in resolving itself in a schematic mode. And wherefore should it? At some people horrible repoint in this picture show you realise that transmissible the uncollectible cat isn't sledding to do Kurosawa's poisoned domain whatever dry cleaner or safer. Stick in company with the director's elliptical title, and Cure testament provide dreadful in its tainted backwash. --Robert Horton In the transfer of Seven and Silence of the Lambs comes this genuinely spine-tingling horror/thriller from unitary of Japan's to the highest degree talked astir filmmakers, Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
