Rich, deep and poetic

A theater playwright leaves instructions to be obeyed after his death to all his former performers of his theatrical version of the ancient Greek legend "Eurydice" to gather themselves at his house (an old big mansion) to appreciate the performance of that play by a recent company which is shown on a film. What goes on then is that there is a strong interpenetration of the acting by the new performers and one by the old ones who recreate now some scenes at the playwrights' house while watching the film. Here the dichotomies youth -- old age, death -- life and theatre -- real life are patent and crossed by love through rich, deep and poetic dialogues. The role of memory in human relations (a theme very dear to Resnais) is also present now and then. This is not an easy movie, I mean a movie practically accessible to the general public and needs special attention by the viewer.

Wins the award for most misleading English title

Alain Resnais directed the French film Vous n'avez encore rien vu (2012). Google Translate gives us, "You Have Not Seen Anything Yet." That's not a great title, but "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" is even worse. It sounds like a movie about a Country and Western band, but it isn't. (It really, really isn't.)A famous director has died, and in his will, he calls together a group of veteran actors to watch a film of the play Eurydice. All of the actors have appeared in this play, and as they watch a new production on a screen, the start to repeat their lines of this play that they remember from their youth.To say that the movie is unique doesn't really do it justice. It's certainly one of a kind. A friend, very familiar with French culture, said, "It's a very French movie."The film has a weak IMDb rating of 6.4. I agreed, and rated it 6.Reviewer's P. S. We saw the film at the Dryden Theatre in Rochester's George Eastman Museum. The Dryden collaborated with Pegasus Early Music by showing four films about the Orpheus legend in August 2022. Pegasus is staging Monteverdi's L'Orfeo 8/26,27,28. A musician and soprano from Pegasus gave a short concert before the movie.
