Le Temps qui reste, (2005) directed by François Ozon.
Watching films is an expensive activity at least in a city like Paris. So I was a bit lucky when I saw this film after buying a reduced price ticket at MK2 Bibliothèque by getting a student discount price.However I was utterly disappointed. First of all it suffers from a very bad casting error. Jeanne Moreau looks like a lost old woman who is not doing any justice to her grand mother's role. The same thing can be said about the lead actor.He cannot live peacefully neither with his family members nor with his male lovers. One more
trouble with "Le Temps qui reste" is that the central theme of "a person having few hours to live" has become so outdated that most of the filmmakers are just putting any cock and bull story thereby hoodwinking the innocent viewers.
Valerie Bruni Tedeschi looks fine but her voice seems a bit deformed. Avoid this film at all costs because you must watch a good film for your time which rests with you. A good film on this theme is "Le Feu Follet"(Will o'the Wisp) by late
French master Louis Malle.
