Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who love a true story told well. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 21 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Valérie Jouve is a weel-known photographer, and Grand Littoral is her first film. Out the outskirts of Marseille, in a landscape criss-crossed by motorways, railways and srubland paths, some figures that seem to be from her famous photos passby and bump into each other. They act as our guides in a tour without beginning or end. How do you look at a place without taking possession of it? How do you describe characters without confining them within a given plot? How do you make the transition from still shots to moving pictures? this brief, musical film leaves us asking these and other unresolved questions.
