if i spent a lot of time performing a census of the cast, it is because the movie seems to rotate among its characters as if taking inventory. nothing happens in
happily ever after
that i cared much about .
tres amigos, tres mujeres y alguna más ocasional, engaños y desamores. podría contar esto menos directo pero esta es precisamente la forma directa en que se narra este film francés del 2004 del director tarsem singh .
told from the male perspective, despite a deceptive focus on attal' s real - life partner, charlotte gainsbourg, who plays discontented wife to his distracted husband, happily ever after shows why betraying their allies comes so easily to the french: they practice it at home .
happily ever after
is among other things a dirge for the death of the french style of adultery. these parisian philanders seem no more chic than your average cheating american. recall the elegance of the adultery in a film like renoir' s
rules of the game ,
and then regard a couple in this film having a food fight. of course, in renoir the elegance was all upstairs among the aristocrats, while the gamekeeper and the footman chased each other around the kitchen, fighting over the gamekeeper' s wife. has everyone in france moved into the kitchen ?
this film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are. see what’s now showing
johnny depp' s special appearance and the last bit was quite predictive after the montage of gabrielle answering calls about the house .
if charlotte gainsbourg is present in a certain film, you automatically know it will be good - at least a little bit good. and so'... and they lived happily ever after' is one of those' a little bit good' films. it discusses life and marital issues that people have to face sometime half way through their lives (if they made those sorts of choices earlier on, that is). it' s decent. it' s french. what more could anyone want if you' re just looking for a film to waste some time and distract you from real life for a night ?
though this french film features good acting, it lacks the wit and charm one would expect to see .
challenged by a friend to watch something at random from a foreign obscure film list. well here we are !
i really enjoyed this film' s cross - section of people dealing with various facets of coupledom, love, fidelity, marriage, etc. the elevator ride with johnny depp was quite poetic and a wonderful close to the film .
the reviews say that happily ever after is a film about infidelity. it is not. comparisons to they don' t live here anymore or even closer miss the point. other lovers are mere punctuation. imagined or consummated, adultery is just an illusion here—not an escape from or rebellion against (i love you, vincent says, and i love my wife), but the spark that makes the marriage work, or makes it feel like it might as well (“i don' t care if it hurts; i want to have control”). know that superstition about three on match ?
there' s nothing much wrong with the film; my complaint is that there' s nothing much right about it .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
if there are support groups out there for single women still wishing they were not— happily ever after — from director yvan attal (my wife is an actress), who also stars—should be run on a loop through all of their meetings. it would cure them in an instant. (i' m beginning to wonder if my satisfaction with being single hasn' t everything to do with my spending some formative romantic years in paris). the tongue in the title' s cheek is not entirely sardonic, though... cataloguing as it does the myriad ways in which successful marriages make people miserable, the film' s message is ultimately pro misery .
the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice, telling a story of startling cruelty. what a space it opens…
there' s nothing much wrong with the film; my complaint is that there' s nothing much right about it. why do i need to see it? what do i learn? why should i smile? does the movie approve of the feminist wife, disapprove, or consider her merely as a collection of character traits? why is so little made of the indians, who after all have mastered the happiness the others seek? what does it say about a couple when a food fight escalates into an action scene? i don' t know, and i don' t care, and if they are all really going to live happily after it will not be in this movie or even, at their rate of growth, in its sequel .

french take on infidelity. moving at times, but in all honesty i struggled to sympathize with any of the male characters, which left the film feeling a bit tawdry even though the female characters were beautifully developed and acted .
it' s like the director didn' t know what his story would be about so he mashed all of his ideas into one film. also why is johnny depp at the top of the credits when he was in 2 minutes of this whole movie? ?
i found i liked this admittedly sometimes uneven french comedy / drama about love, marriage and fidelity much more the 2nd time around. yes, there are still moments that are banal and cliché'. and yes some of the supporting characters tend towards stereotypes. but there' s a life and a playfulness to the film, an almost delirious sense of energetic film - making, peppered with both a truly odd but effective johnny depp cameo, and some great rock songs popping up along the way. the basic story exploring the inherent rockiness of marriage may be old hat, but the cinematic approach and the performances (especially charlotte gainsbourg' s irresistible young wife and mother) make many of the old ideas often feel new. a film of memorable moments; sexy, complicated, funny and sad. much like love it can bit over sweet, or painful, but is very worth the time
i don' t have much to add, the film does very little with regards to investing you into the world at all, and yet its not badly directed by any stretch. it just gets bogged down into... well... useless non - enlightening scenes about love and sex that…

from all appearances they have a strong, if not - what - it - used - to - be marriage. there are still highs in their relationship (particularly when they pretend they don' t know each other), though they are more playful than passionate (how they cover each other with food - stuffs shows the difference between an affair of 9 ½ weeks and a marriage of 9 ½ years), and they don' t whine or yell. the film' s odd sideline of a soft - spoken indian couple with an active sex life after 20 years notwithstanding, vincent and gabrielle are the couple to beat (the other couples serve just to put them into relief). and wouldn' t you know it, therein lies the rub... something is rotten... etc. and so forth .
the film... is... forgettable. however, there is one sequence that i thought was just great in a music store with no dialogue - and great music to boot (it was worth watching just for that as a self - contained sequence). phenomenal direction and acting actually, it would be better if it wasn' t johnny depp though: /
if the movie had given gabrielle and the man something to actually say or do, none of these questions would be anywhere near the surface of my mind. depp would be playing a role, instead of making a cameo. the cuteness of his appearance is an emblem of the film' s self - absorbed satisfaction with itself: it need not extend itself to involve or amuse us, because its characters are so content to circulate among each other' s genitals .
these two men join in an occasional poker game with fred (alain cohen), a bachelor and obsessive ladies' man, and an indian man who enjoys frequent and satisfying sex with his wife after 20 years. the plot, which is generous with its characters, also provides vincent with a mistress (angie david), who at one point is actually talking to him on her cell phone while sitting at the next table in a restaurant from vincent' s wife. we also meet vincent' s parents (anouk aimee and claude berri) and the mistress' s mother (aurore clement), looking uncannily like a mistress herself .

it begins with three men. they’re in their early forties and are taking stock of their lives. vincent lives with gabrielle and georges lives with nathalie. they each have a five year old son and feel as though they’re suffocating, becoming staid and have even been trapped by a society that pushed them into working, getting married and having children. they’re envious of the third man of the trio. fred is free, single. he goes out with beautiful women and doesn’t live by the clock. naturally, fred dreams of only one thing: to be like vincent and georges – settled and married with kids – and to try at last to give a meaning to his life. but we learn that vincent is having a relationship with another woman, “a mistress. ” no one knows, none of his friends, know about the relationship. but gabrielle does. but he doesn’t know that gabrielle knows. from then on, we follow her. we see her coming to terms with the situation. she loves her husband and waits for him patiently. she’s a real estate agent and we find her at the end of a rather calm day in virgin megastore where she is listening to a disk beside a man she doesn’t know. her imagination begins to run wild, the way it does each time she gets a client to visit an apartment, when she imagines another life, for better or for worse… without the man she loves .

attal knows that no matter how adult we feel when we say,' i do,' marriage is all child' s play: jealousy, lies and pure, unconditional love. perplexing, but not a bad option .
a meditation on the joys and frustrations of monogamy that manages to be a diverting and funny character study at least most of the time .
attal taps into that unexpectedness - - the inability of just one person to captain the course of a relationship no matter how hard they try - - and he plays it for all it' s worth .
there are a few quality moments, but this fairy tale is far from enchanting .
whatever points screenwriter / director attal is trying to make about relationship envy get lost as the marital conflicts become more contrived and shrill .
attal doesn' t illuminate vincent' s motives for straying, and unwisely suggests vincent' s philandering and gabrielle' s daydreaming are somehow morally equivalent .
in a world filled with empty lust and marital discord, yvan attal' s wistful comedy is about a guy who loves his wife .
an interesting study of three men who are friends, in different marital situations, and who have different approaches to love and happiness. it explores fidelity and what constitutes happiness within the family unit. charlotte gainsbourg is lovely in this as gabrielle, wife of vincent (yvan attal). some bizarre games transpire between these two and the cover art is taken from one of those playtimes. lots of interesting camera work, a lively script, and some lovely actors keep things from becoming too trite, but it' s not all that deep either. mildly entertaining at best .
this is a really realistic story and fine acting especially by the core cast. the only problem i had with it is the ending seems to be inserted smack dab in the middle of the story, which left me a bit confused. its a bittersweet tale about marriage; an old subject to be sure, but refreshing with this french perspective. enjoy !
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him. riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you. …

the movie opens with a man making a crass pickup attempt at a bar. the woman who is his target efficiently dismisses and humiliates him, turns her attention to another man, and picks him up. in no time at all they are plundering their netherlands in a parked car, and it is only when they get inside an apartment that we realize they are man and wife. it' s a game to bring a little spice into their marriage .
that couple is vincent, played by yvan attal, who also wrote and directed the movie, and gabrielle (charlotte gainsbourg, his real - life wife). another couple in the story is the miserable georges (alain chabat), whose feminist wife nathalie (emmanuelle seigner) finds fault with everything he does, including buying gender - appropriate toys for their children. what does a little boy need? a toy vacuum cleaner, obviously .
there is a scene where gabrielle is at a virgin megastore, listening to an album on headphones, and johnny depp joins her at the same kiosk and listens to the same song. they smile enigmatically, about the album, i guess, and he walks away. later, gabrielle, who is a realtor, discovers she is showing an apartment to a man who is - - why, it' s johnny depp. they get on the elevator, and find themselves kissing, and the elevator goes up, and up, and up, no doubt being circled by the stairway to heaven .
scenes like this cause me to become unreasonably restless. does gabrielle know this man is johnny depp? does the movie? does depp? is the movie so cool everybody knows he' s johnny depp but just doesn' t say so? is his appearance intended as an endorsement? or is he not supposed to be johnny depp, in which case why was he cast ?

just charming and well made enough to get by, but never particularly engaging and ultimately not very rewarding .
they say so what if there' s a goal keeper, that doesn' t mean you can' t score a goal and win. but from personal experience and being an acod i think any person who encourages an affair with the knowledge of the other being in a relationship is just nasty or inhumane .
it' s maybe true that mankind isn' t made for monogamy and most animals tend to have a polygamist approach to life. but having the knowledge and breaking up a relationship is just bad .
mantiene una estructura clásica en el montaje centrándose en la fotografía. las actuaciones definitivamente muy buenas sobre todo por parte de charlotte gainsbourg, yvan attal
um roteiro que não sabe bem de onde vem e pra onde vai. yvan attal até tem uma mise - en - scène interessante ao longo do filme, mas se perde na condução / construção de seus personagens. o cameo de johnny depp no primeiro momento é estiloso e parece conduzir a trama a algum lugar, mas só parece. . pois logo em seguida tudo volta ao
normal
e sua reaparição ao final somente coroa o péssimo mal gosto deste filme. vale pelas aparições da emmanuelle seigner num papel divertido, mas infelizmente subaproveitado .
