Gripping, tense and dark the whole duration through, Angel of Mine concludes with an excellent ending, as desperation to be a mother results in a very surprising conclusion. It is astonishing that the film has been based on real life events.Read More »

Lucas Belvaux – Cavale AKA On the Run [Trilogy No. 1] (2002)
2001-2010FranceLucas BelvauxThrillerIn The Trilogy, three different but parallel stories unfold revealing the lives of a husband and wife, a policeman and his drug-addicted wife, and a prison escapee and his friends. The characters wander in and out of three films where we see them switch from leading men and women to supporting actors. The three films, all of different genres (the first is a thriller, the second a comedy and the third a melodrama), provide the same action from different angles and perspectives.

Although it is reminiscent of Kurosawa’s Rashomon and Balzac’s novels, Lucas Belvaux’s project is unprecedented.Read More »
