the exquisite remembrance of Ghislaine's dance, 28 août 2004

Auteur : oeilde9

Toutes ces belles promesses is a very charming movie. It's the story of Marianne. She visits her family"s home, and remembers of her childhood. Jeanne Balibar who is a very good french actress gives to this film greats qualities. This movie is a TV's movie but it 's an excellent work a charming small opera. In the very good stories there is always a hidden flower or jewel which reveal the talent of the Author. In this movie I found this hidden jewel it is the scene of Ghislaine's dance (Valérie Crunchant). I appreciate a lot this exquisite remembrance of childhood. Valérie Crunchant appears to be a very sensitive actress, probably a new french talent. I hope we will see her again in other movies.

this film makes me love Mendelsohn, 7 novembre 2003

Auteur : Thiry

Toutes ces belles promesses is a wonderful french movie, I think it is the most beautiful work of Jean-Paul Civeyrac.I am so enthusiastic that I give 10 to this film. I have seen Fantomes and Le doux amour des hommes (others movies of Civeyrac), they were sensitives stories and sensitives pictures with very personal musical choices. But in All the fine promises there is the nostalgia of childhood. A woman (Jeanne Balibar which is really an excellent actress) remembers about all the fines promises of his childhood. When she was a little girl she discovered the birth of love with her nanny. I am very fond of the shorts appearances of the little girl and her nanny. The young nanny (Valerie Crunchant) incarnates the life and the goodness with a lot of emotion.Civeyrac makes very successful pictures with her. It is particularly because of those singles things of childhood that I am fond of this film. And there is Mendelsohn's music. Since I saw this film I love this composer.

graceful remembrance of Isadora Duncan, 6 septembre 2004

Auteur : oeilde9

I discovered this movie on french's T.V. The actress in this film are

wonderful. I remember this surprising Jeanne Balibar and Bulle

Ogier's duet they play piano and sing together: A great piece of

anthology. The actress who plays Ghislaine young (Valérie Crunchant) is very

great too. She is very graceful, and very touching, especially when

she dances like Isadora Duncan in front of the young Marianne

(Irène Cavalaro). This scene is for me a very graceful

remembrance. It 's very interesting to discover such a good french

actress in TV's movies.I hope we will see her again in other

Civeyrac's movies.

very good, but seen before, 19 octobre 2003

Auteur : timmyboy17 de Deinze, Belgique

I saw Toutes ces belles promesses on the Filmfestival in Ghent, and it was a welcome surprise for starting the day with. French movies are very important for the European movie-scene and Toutes ces belles promesses is a movie to be captured. The story involves a young woman, traveling to an elder women and places from her (and her dead parent's) past, after breaking up with her friend and discovering that her father had an affair with that women. During these actions all kinds of memories come up and she talks about it. Females are the central figures in this picture, so we are constantly shown what kind of emotions the main characters go through, how they feel about their lives and relationships. The whole story has been told already for several times in other ways, but the acting en direction makes it all interesting and beautiful. I would have liked it to be more compelling, but the honesty of of tout ces belles promesses was more important to me. I gave it 8/10

Well played but unengaging, 5 avril 2004

Auteur : sebadee de France

Director Civeyrac's film is a rather cerebral affair. The heroine, beautifully played by Jeanne Balibar, travels to meet her dead father's mistress (Bulle Ogier) who helps her to choose freedom over love and passion. (No wonder this film has

failed to find a distributer in France!) Flashbacks are used to good effect, usually with a window or mirror as point of entry. He should get an award for 'Best use of Hats': I found the idea of desire passing from one person to another by means of a hat really effective. The film is slow, beautiful and quite without the slightest trace of humour.

not every french director is Eric Rohmer, 19 octobre 2003

Auteur : daviddvb de belgium

Every french director would like to be the next Eric Rohmer, but most don't live up to that standard ... this is no exception. The movie completely misses the right ruthm and the purity of rohmer's movies. The dialogue-driven plot gets interrupted way to eften by dreary flashbacks that keep dragging the film down. It's not really bad, but it's of no significance at all.
