C'est beau une ville la nuit
2006 Comedy / Drama   

 

Review
A film that has "vanity project" written over it in bright green fluorescent paint, C’est beau une ville la nuit has little to commend it unless you happen to be obsessed with Richard Bohringer or have strong sadomasochistic tendencies.  Based on Bohringer’s 1988 book, which defies categorisation, being neither novel or autobiography, the film is just as nebulous, intangible and pretentious.  Road movie is perhaps too grand a title for something that is as vague and vacuous as this.  Despite Bohringer’s immense skill as an actor, which is complemented here by that of his daughter Romaine, this film is just too painful to watch.
