Redheads VS. The World
Romain Gavras' style is unusual. That's no breaking news. I watched Notre Jour Viendra
because the plot seemed fascinating. Let me sum it up for you: Rémy (Olivier Barthelemy) is a teenage ginger constantly bullied at school or at home because of his hair color. Patrick (Vincent Cassel) is a redheaded psychiatrist but he is crazier than all of his patients put together. The two of them join forces to fight against discrimination and hatred. They go on a violent quest to Ireland, supposedly Redhead Heaven. Let's imagine Tarantino would direct this film. It would be a bloody and funny roadtrip to Ireland or when From Dusk Till Dawn
meets Django Unchained
. But Gavras is no Tarantino. His style is drastically different. When Tarantino makes you laugh with a shocking story, Gavras makes you uncomfortable with a basic one. Vincent Cassel's character is a manipulative mood-swinging psycho. Someone you definitely don't want to meet. Ever. Barthelemy's character has good intentions at first but quickly follows the steps of his mentor. It's a movie to watch but only once. I won't watch this movie once a year on a rainy Sunday like other classics. In line with Sheitan
and Irréversible
but not as unbearable, Notre Jour Viendra makes you feel gross and affected. I personally felt like taking a shower and watching a re-run of How I Met Your Mother after I watched Notre Jour Viendra. The deranged sexuality scenes sprinkled with infantile weirdness is too much for me to handle. Try it with caution, it's not for everybody.
