Shot in wide-screen, low-grain black and white, this sleek suspense narrative quietly unpacks the delusions and emotional hunger of its upper-class heroine.
Top CriticIf you're not careful, A Tout De Suite--Benoit Jacquot's ode to the French New Wave, infused with his love of American crime classics 'Bonnie and Clyde' and 'Badlands'--will fool you.
The film's retro appeal includes black-and-white cinematography and a Truffaut-esque fascination for parallels between the characters' wild flight and filmmaking itself as a wide-eyed, open-ended experience.
Crazy things certainly happen to Lili, but Le Besco drifts through most of the proceedings as though she were following a checklist: long face (done), three-way with lithe Athenians (yup), the occasional suggestion of zombietude (mission accomplished).
This is a film of disturbing emotional power and frank sexuality that is photographed in sensuous black and white.
Le Besco has an amazingly shaped face that, alone, takes you through most of the movie.
Privileged girl runs with bank-robber boyfriend.
Should deliver to that core of filmgoers who respond to anything French, edgy, well-reviewed and well-done.
Stylish but pointless and bland romantic thriller.
Despite the film's infectious style and the powerful charisma of its leading performers, it doesn't really catch fire.
A Tout de Suite contains a sufficient amount of action and suspense but it's also quite the literary picture.
... a painful and poignant film at once empathetic and critical, more soberly unnerving than exciting, but never less than compelling.
Opaque stares and pregnant pauses can only pull so much weight, no matter how snazzy the packaging.
A Tout de Suite is a sometimes-interesting film, particularly its first 30 minutes, but runs on long after the intrigue ends...
Benoit Jacquot's drama creates a sense of dislocation with its impossible-to- predict-what-will- happen-next plot, jumpy black-and-white cinematography, elusive characters and casual approach to the time in which it's set.
Audience Reviews for À tout de suite (Right Now)
[font=Century Gothic][/font]
[font=Century Gothic]"A Tout de Suite" is shot in black and white(which I am such a sucker for). The movie emulates the French New Wave with its jump cuts and loose story structure. Some stock footage is added to make it look more like 1975.[/font]
