2011. Wrapped with oysters The recipe for bullfish with oysters is unusually simple, but here it is all about as ingredients. Culinary synergy traditionally gives a delicacy here. The same, drawing an analogy, can be said about this picture “Forcibly”.
Formally, the film is simple and uncomplicated. An ordinary French police fighter. How many have been filmed, from Melville to Jacques Derais? How many more will be removed?
Nothing new. A police inspector is fighting a gang of armed robbers. To solve the problem, she goes to a prisoner named Makarov. Through threats, blackmail and even crime (murder), Makarov is forced to infiltrate his comrades. And assist the police. It is clear that rebellion is inevitable.
But returning to the famous culinary dish, I remind you that it is all about the ingredients. The better the oysters and mushrooms, the better the final dish turns out to be.
The main color of our film is given by the actors. Or rather, the duet of the main performers. Makarova is played by former footballer, Leeds United and Manchester United star Eric Cantona. His acting career is developing very confidently, and for the role you can feel a sense of pride.
The thing is that he did not look pale against the background of his partner, Isabel Ajani. What can I say about her? A living legend whose every role becomes an event, regardless of its significance. Against the backdrop of modern French stars, I don't see equals. Sophie Marceau, Isabelle Huppert, Irene Jacob, Monica Bellucci, Juliette Binoche, Emmanuel Bear – all of them for various reasons can not compete with Adjani. There was too much success in her career. It's rarely taken off now.
So much for oysters. Ajani has an unexpectedly difficult role. The police inspector in her performance throughout the film undergoes metamorphosis. Sharp and cynical at first (by the way, Ajani picked up a very unusual decision, even a smile appeared similar to Sami Naseri), then her heroine will experience shock, then hysteria. This is the case when in a simple and insignificant film we got an unexpected session of skill. Without straining, easily and at ease, like the Shaolin sage, Ajani places accents.
Back to our recipe. After preparing the sauce, the ready-made oysters are laid out in ravens and immediately served to the table. Very simple delicacy, primitive and not once original. But the main thing is to taste. However, if to the end to draw an analogy with this film, the captors turned out to be tough, and the seasonings were not added by French cooks.
