This French Film festival is on again this year for two and a half weeks. All the movies are showing at Palace Cinemas which is a lovely location and in fact they even have their popcorn combos online which makes buying snacks much easier. We wished that Hoyts did this.
Well we went to see Elle which is part comedy, part action. It was $19.50 for the ticket and we paid online as to skip the queue.Do book your tickets online
The Como was a lovely intimate place in which you can bring alcohol and your own meals in.
Now onto Elle
Directed by Jeanne Herry this film is a must see if you love both comedy and action.
Elle is a story about a husband (Vincent Lacroix) who murdered his wife Julie. Vincent is a famous singer in Paris. One night Vincent and his friends were playing poker and Julie was watching TV. She had enough of him and his friends and she went upstairs. She started throwing her things around and Vincent got annoyed. He got so annoyed that he pushed Julie into a bookshelf and accidentally killed her. He then went to his sister (Muriel's ) place and asked her to drive to Switzerland with the body in the trunk and dispose of it there.
Muriel is a compulsive liar who likes to tell stories.
But Muriel does not go there. In fact she dumps the body in the forest in countryside France and then goes to visit her mother who lives about a six hour drive away. Muriel was at the flea market selling her goods when Vincent rang using a mobile that he stole from his favourite café.
A few days after Julie's death Vincent goes around pretending that Julie is alive and missing. But then the police find her body in the forest and then they blame Muriel and Muriel tries to tell them the truth.
But in the end does the police find out the real truth- ie that it was Vincent that murdered his wife?
Do watch this movie at Palace before the film festival runs out.
