like the bling ring on steroids, this boasts an amazing directing, soundtrack and lead performance. also like the bling ring, the its seems to both understand the actions of the characters because of their naivete and but also criticize society heavily because it' s been taken over by violent and mind - numbing media, mtv and scarface in 1995 and facebook in the bling ring. the joke might ultimately be on the filmmakers because if it just keeps happening in every generation, that might not be culture but human nature .

the director and screenwriter trained first as an actor before he turned to filmmaking. after studying at the beijing film academy, wang quan' an, who was born in yan' an in shaanxi province, presented his debut film lunar eclipse in 1999. it screened in the berlinale' s forum section in 2002 after making various award - winning appearances at festivals around the world. he was selected with tuya' s marriage for the competition in 2007 and, as the third chinese filmmaker in the festival' s history, won the golden bear. three years later, apart together was chosen as the berlinale' s opening film and went on to win the silver bear for best script, which wang co - wrote with jin na. he returned to the berlinale competition in 2012 with white deer plain, an adaptation of the historical novel of the same name, where his director of photography, lutz reitemeier, won the silver bear for outstanding artistic contribution .
“fresh bait” was to have been the realistic crime follow - up to “l. 627, ” but helmer was obliged to take over the reins on “d’artagnan’s daughter” first. co - scripters tavernier and colo tavernier o’hagan have updated a true story that stunned the nation in 1984, and their well - delineated point — that lethal gestures out of all proportion with material gain can be the work of ordinary kids from ordinary families — is both shocking and banal .
this movie inspired from actual events reminds me another film just released; guess what: 24 jours, the story of the abduction, torture and killing of ilan allimi, also a true event occurred in 2006. the schemes are very alike but not filmed in the same way. the alexandre arcady film is more tense, more suspenseful. and that doesn' t reduce the efficiency of the tavernier' s piece of work. i like both. they are just made in two different ways. that' s all. more than eighteen years are between the two of them. the best would be to watch them both one after the other, to compare at the best. a very interesting experience .

frequenting pricey nightspots in search of a break into showbiz, nathalie methodically collects the business cards of professional men while eric formulates a grandiose plan with more holes than a colander: nathalie — the bait — is to get herself invited to the victim’s home, presumably for sex, only to have eric and bruno burst in and empty the overflowing safe that they imagine all lawyers and merchants must have. kids believe that a handful of such heists will yield the seed money they need to open a pie - in - the - sky chain of ready - to - wear boutiques in the u. s .
it’s hard to check more boxes on a list of “what french movies are like” (or at least, “what ‘french movies’ are like to americans”) than fresh bait does .
a few spoiled 20ish kids, one of them a sex - worker with high - rolling clients, hate work, so they decide to rob wealthy people and move to america. sexually open, beautiful french kids; self - aware “movie” movie with endless references for cinephiles to delight in; the presumption of american freedom. it skewers the bourgeois, but it contains so many new wave and post - new wave tropes that it could easily be condemned as bourgeois itself. but for each item it checks off, fresh bait generates a matching an internal consistency that has purpose beyond appraising…
the theme of wayward youth is quite common in movies, but it' s rarely treated with as much depth and subtlety. fresh bait is truly a great one; very misunderstood though because it doesn' t play the blame game like other movies. it simply shows a trio of amoral youngsters doing whatever they can to survive in an amoral world. there aren' t many films like this one, as bold and uncompromising .
born in denmark of icelandic parentage, olafur eliasson quickly garnered international attention after completing the royal danish academy of fine arts. he participated in the berlin biennale in 1998 and the venice biennale in 2003, and his piece “the weather project”, which was installed in the turbine hall of the tate modern, attracted over two million visitors. today, with his sculptures, installations, paintings, photographs and films that often focus on physical phenomena in nature as well as climate change, he has become one of the world’s most important contemporary artists. eliasson, who founded his studio in berlin in 1995, has received countless awards. besides being involved in art, he is the founder of a global sustainable energy project and social business called little sun, as well as the international architectural firm studio other spaces. his latest artworks include a number of installations at the palace of versailles in 2016 .
the main reason the film works is marie gillain in the lead role, she really manages to capture the innocence yet strongheaded nature of a young person caught in a nasty situation. the characters, however, aren' t very realistic and bertrand tavernier never finds a way to show exactly why the plans never work, how the real world works, how this story most likely played out; it just goes through the motions, points it' s fingers and calls it a day. kinda smug. watchable though .

true crime tale of some wayward youth turning into a series of robberies and murder. the genre social determinism put to great use. tavernier packs a lot of good detail and his sober than usual approach (it plays like a classicist take on a larry clark movie) adds an extra punch. great performances and both big robbery scenes are tense in their pre - ordained inevitability. the film only missteps when it gives away into too easy commentary (particularly about american culture influence on french youth), but the film gleefully amorality finds in tavernier no frills style a great counterpoint .

natalie (marie gillain), a parisian shop assistant and part - time escort, gets involved with a plan by her boyfriend to use her as bait and rob her costumers, in order to finance their dreams of moving to the states. pretty soon the scheme gets out of hand and leads to murder. l' appât is a portrait of a generation bertrand tavernier deems too materialistic and overly obsessed with celebrity, and he has created his characters just to make that point. there' s no attempt to understand them or empathise with them, they only exist as totems for tavernier' s condemnation and disapproval. and it seems that their most heinous, most unforgivable crime in his eyes, isn' t the stealing and the killing, but the fact that they have the gall to prefer american films over french ones! bertrand tavernier is one of the best french directors of the post new wave, l' appât, however, is the work of a vieux con .

once again crusty matthau and sly lemmon bring forth their craftiest dirty tricks and sharpest barbs in this alternately poignant and hilarious sequel set six months after the wedding between gustafson (lemmon) and the luscious ariel (ann - margret). as the story begins, the two pensioners have become grudging pals, content to suspend their constant practical jokes as their children prepare to marry each other. they still enjoy taunting each other at their favorite fishing lake. the fireworks really begin when they learn that the gorgeous and plucky maria ragetti (sophia loren) and her italian mother have bought their beloved bait shop and plan to turn it into an italian restaurant. the two devious fellows, hating the idea that anything should change in wabasha, minnesota, team up to keep that restaurant from opening, but maria is having none of that nonsense and stands her ground. in the face of such feistiness, it is small wonder that goldman finds himself falling in love, but will he succeed in subduing the equally stubborn maria? will he and gustafson manage to maintain their tentative détente ?

what is more chilling than the fatal deeds themselves is that it never occurs to the trio that thieving and murdering might be perceived as an objectionable way to raise capital or that they might get caught. although their families appear adequate and even caring, the kids’ moral universe seems to have been shaped mostly by videocassettes of american movies. (while selecting vidpix, one of the gang asks, “should i get this tape? , ” eliciting the reply, “no, it’s french — it sucks. ”) tightly knit ensemble cast is good, particularly putzulu as the dim - bulb sponger who takes things literally. gillain’s nathalie has the closest thing to a functioning moral compass, yet still experiences only fleeting remorse .
