The latest Breath, a new Costa-Gavras film, with Cader Merad and Dennis Podalid, has been released this Wednesday. Did he persuade his first viewers? The average press is 5 to 3 (out of 26 titles), and internet users give it an almost equal medium note, 5 to 2.9).
The last breath is a singular sentence between the film Choral (a prestigious actor, including, especially Charlotte Rambling, Hyam Abbas or Karin Vine, around his lead roles), recalls the world of Claude Lelushi and almost documented at the end of meditative life.
Costa-Gangras’s film is dense, with the characters in its overwhelming and sketches that fed all these powerful reflections and admiration of death.
“Beautifully treated with a serious subject”
Internet users liked the emotion that emerged from the film and raises questions.
Fredkin (5/5): “It is a special moment of emotion, but without a pathos, think about what can happen to us better, during our last breath or for those we love. Poetry and hope. The best of the cinema, the one who puts himself into a question.“
Capirex (4/5): “Adapted from the episodic book of Claude Granji and Regi Debria, this is a very interesting movie to treat Costa-Gavra seriously on a serious subject! Shepherd Merad, who we do not expect in this registry, in my opinion is very convincing in his role! ”
Vick P (3.5 / 5): “There is some sweetness from this film that is specific to Costa Gavra by approaching this topic of palliative care. I was not convinced that in the interpretation of the Merad, in this role of the head of the department, in this specific specialty of medicine, but the role, though very studied and worked. ”

Frustration?
If some users are affected, some talk about frustration, even on failure.
CALLOC (0.5 / 5): “MAuvais, Acyssically Bad: Actors, Staging, Dialogues, Scenario (especially the scene, endless, called “gypsies”) … It seems that the team has never seen the interior of a real palliative care center.“
Simon Bernard (1/5): “The last breath is a huge frustration. The work starts quite well, quickly approaching its topic: the end of life. The first half of the film is really interesting, and like this lady is attracted to the characters in front of us, which tells us about the beliefs of each religion. And then Patatra.
We dislike the dialogues with less and less trusted characters. When they came to an end, the viewer would exacerbate them to expel the plot. The drawers are open and never closed. Shad Meradi drives us a great enlightened wise. Escape.“
Bruno JDD (0.5 / 5): “Ouch Ouch Ouch. Almost complete failure. (…) So written dialogues that they almost mention. Uncomfortable actors, including this poor power podalide and shot Merad, “Great Heroes”, Cliches, Staging and camera as awkward as Z “…
The last breath is currently in theaters.
