Comparisons to Hitchcock have been made throughout his career, but they serve to define differences more than similarities. Of the great filmmakers of the French New Wave, he may have changed the least over the years, and there's a continuity of tone and morbid inquiry that runs from Le Boucher (1970) through La Ceremonie (1995, and also based on Rendell) to The Bridesmaid. The film reveals its secrets slowly, and Chabrol tightens the screws not according to the rules of Hollywood suspense but with a cool, level gaze. its rewards come from sustained concentration rather than from relaxed observation. But the filmmaker has never been as interested in the machinations of plot as much as aberrant human nature. And it takes close attention to the movie's seemingly innocuous details to understand his deeper purposes. Website assigned a 74 out of 100 based on 20 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews." Ĭhabrol arranges his story with a subtle, almost clinical accumulation. As the police arrive, Philippe tells Senta that he will never leave her. Philippe returns to Senta's house, and she confesses to him that she has killed a young woman who wanted to steal her previous boyfriend. He then meets the homeless man whom he had claimed to have murdered, but whose reported death was a case of mistaken identity. When he is released from the police station, Philippe calls Senta and tells her that they should break up. A police inspector informs Philippe that another man was killed at the same location, and asks Philippe to explain his presence there. Relieved that Senta is not a murderer, he gives her the sculpture of Flora and asks her to marry him. Philippe, not wanting to believe that she has really done it, goes to Gerard's house and finds that he is still alive. Philippe presents a news article about a dead tramp as proof that he has done the deed, and Senta, in return, tells him that she has killed Gerard. When he refuses, she kicks him out of her house, telling him he doesn't really love her. As their affair intensifies, she asks Philippe to kill a stranger to prove his love. The sexy Senta may be beautiful and irresistible, yet she also invents stories about herself and has macabre ideas about life, love, and death. She claims to be a model and aspiring actress who lives in a huge villa which she says she inherited from her father. Thirty-something Annie (Kristen Wiig) has hit a rough. Later, at his sister's wedding, Philippe meets attractive bridesmaid Senta ( Smet) and the two quickly fall for each other passionately. Hold on for one more day.Bridesmaids is coming back to select movie theaters for its 10th anniversary.
He finally tracks it down and places it in his closet without telling anyone. The comedy comes from the bridesmaids who all play great comedic parts.
Philippe makes it his mission to recover the sculpture. The movie also draws a comparison between the two as Lilian is getting her life together with her marriage while Annie’s life is taking one bad turn after another starting with the loss of her business, and then her apartment. Not too long after receiving the gift, Gerard appears to vanish without a trace, presumably in order to avoid contact with Christine. She gives him a sculpture of the Roman goddess Flora that had been in the family garden. Soon after, Philippe's mother introduces her children to Gerard (Le Coq) - a wealthy local businessman who appears interested in pursuing her. One day, a local girl mysteriously disappears. Bridesmaids is out on June 24.Philippe ( Magimel) lives on the outskirts of Nantes with his mother Christine ( Clément) who is a hairdresser and with his two younger sisters. Still, we’re eager to see the whole film.Ĭheck out the trailer, and then let us know your thoughts. Our only concern is the occasional lazy gag, such as a burp/fart routine that doesn’t quite work. Paul Feig called the shots on this one, and it boasts an embarrassment of comedy riches with turns from Ellie Kemper, Nancy Carell, Melissa McCarthy, Michael Hitchcock, Matt Lucas and Chris O’Dowd (who shows up briefly in the footage). And there’s some serious competition for the organisational duties from Lillian’s snooty friends, including bridesmaid-from-hell Helen (Rose Byrne). Asked to be Maid of Honour, Annie realises that she has a litany of tasks that all need to be carried out to perfection before her pal walks down the aisle. Kristen Wiig spearheaded the pic, co-writing the script with Annie Mumolo, and takes on the starring role as Annie, the cousin of bride-to-be Lillian. Giving a good impression of what the final film will be, we’re left thinking that it’ll be a fun Apatow-style romp with a little bit more oestrogen than usual.
Yesterday brought the first poster for the movie, and now the trailer has arrived over at Apple. Like an eager suitor looking to get your attention, the new comedy Bridesmaids is sending over gifts every day, it would seem.
