Fantastic!

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

To reply sgcim , (Warning:SPOILER below) 1."Are we supposed to believe that she has done this before and survived, when she would have died if Gaspard hadn't pulled her out of the car?" A: Yes, I believe Audrey and her brother have done this a couple of times before and she survived a couple of times as well, because she does wanna die at all -- she is doing this to fulfill the previous guys'suicide will and her brother's "Satisfaction" ,and he doesn't want her die either -- they love each other deeply.Anyway,Vincent is a super freak and obsessed in "helping" others "commit suicide" -- under the help of his sister Audrey, who was almost fully brainwashed and controlled by him. While Audrey is a bit kind than her brother that she finally killed herself for being tired of all this -- especially by seeing Gaspard gonna be killed by her brother, while she know Gaspard does not wanna commit suicide at all.Also,I think In the game the brother kept playing his sister's role -- Sam,and seduce those who are tired of living to come out and meet Audrey to commit suicide "together".2. What is this movie trying to say? A: Everybody has a " Black Hole "in his/her mind, if he/she go deeply into it and be obsessed, then may become the slave of his/her original desire and go to extreme...Besides,I think the director strongly hold a negative opinion on online video games, which (he may believe)inspired our evil and original desires -- like violence and eroticism, and he just want us to stay away from it, coz the whole story is basically about a young guy betrayed his gf and followed his original desire then being involved in all this mess,but finally got forgiven after crying in the police station... (the plot in the end is really a bit abrupt and naive.) In a word, it's an interesting movie, fantastic animation!

L'autre Monde is a French drama which starts with the life of two "teens" (boyfriends) and they find a cellphone of an unknown person. They start to get involved in her life and the things she does, this will take Gaspard to find a virtual online game (the title of the movie refers to this game) and the plot will get so much exciting. I really liked this movie because I think it is very interesting and cool the story and how the facts happen over the course of the plot. To talk about the actors i have to say that i really love Louise Bourgoin in all the senses, it is really one of my favorite actresses, and this movie is not the exception. I really enjoyed it and I hope you too, i give it an 8/10. regards. maxi0305

Praise Blue Velvet all you want, but you'll never hear me say it's a great movie. I think it's a good movie. Enter Black Heaven thirty years later, a little french movie that takes Lynch and goes Matrix with him. The result is intriguing to be sure in a kind of experimental way, well shot and scored, but in the end the movie is unable to surpass Lynch for two reasons. It feels too mannered and refined and it comes with a rushed finale.Blue Velvet may have been ham fisted but Lynch was able to get some suspense and eroticism out of it. Black Heaven cools it down a little bit. On the positive side, we don't have to endure another Dennis Hopper 'attempt to steal the show' performance, but the movie kind of neglects to embrace what makes it different and potentially superior. Black Heaven, actually has something interesting going for it. Part of the movie plays out in a computer game, and there is the sense that Black Heaven could do something more exiting with the story, but it keeps everything neat and tidy, sometimes resorting to cheap measures. The movie ends way too soon. Just when it looks like Black Heaven might just turn up the heat, the game shuts down (so to speak) after a rather disappointing pay off.Looking back, I'll say we have a curious and mystique little indie film, but it's not quite there.

If you're going to make a film, at least try to have a coherent story that will leave the viewer with a sense that something meaningful has happened. This film failed to do so, and seemed like it was written by an adolescent who was trying to emulate David Lynch, but lacked the maturity to carry it out. It starts with a Blue Velvet-like opening, with a young couple in the South of France,finding a cell phone that leads them to a young man and woman attempting suicide by pills and gas fumes in a car. The guy dies, but the young woman survives because they pulled her out of the car. They hear someone running away in the woods. The lead male character, Gaspard, finds a camera on the dashboard that has filmed the would-be suicide, pockets it and takes it home and views it. He is smitten by the blonde woman would-be suicide, and tries to find out who she is by a reference to a virtual reality program the couple mentioned before they tried to end it all. He goes with his friends to smoke some dope in an apartment where the mysterious blonde and her brother happen to live. ****SPOILER***I could go on and fill in the rest of the story, but let's just say Gaspard rejects his girlfriend and goes after the blonde, only to find out her brother is using her to lure suicidal men to their doom so he can film their suicides. Huh? Are we supposed to believe that she has done this before and survived, when she would have died if Gaspard hadn't pulled her out of the car? Are we supposed to believe that the only way he can satisfy this fetish(?)is to have his sister kill herself? What is this movie trying to say? It ends with Gaspard crying in the police station and telling his original girlfriend he really loves her. The film had good acting, great animation, an electronic music score with some catchy pan-diatonicism, and was shot and directed very well; too bad a better story line couldn't have been worked out.
