The Worst Film Ever
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
In French the tile is Le Purnelle de mes yeux which translates as 'the pupil of my eyes, plural, thus making something of a hash of the expression we in England know as 'the apple of my eye', singular. It's a mostly ho-hum entry with no 'names' either in front of or behind the camera that will mean anything in England. Typical male chauvinist encounters a girl in a lift and completely fails to notice she's blind. Later he thinks it might be a hoot to pretend that he himself is blind. Can you see where we're going with this? I hope so because you should be ahead of me. There was a post-war movie from Hollywood on a similar premise with Dana Andrews as a blind pianist in a band run by Hoagy Carmichael - Andrews had lost his sight in battle and it was restorable. Again the female lead, in this case Ms Gotrocks, also affected blindness and went so far as to sponsor a competition and fixed it for Andrews to win. It wasn't Citizen Kane but it was still light years ahead of this.
