Poison Friends (2007)
Agrees With....
Posted on 4/30/07 at 3:31 PM In "Poison Friends", Andre Morney(Thibault Vincon) is the coolest of intellectual cats holding sway over his friends and fellow seminar students, would-be actor Alexandre Pariente(Alexandre Steiger) and Eloi Duhaut(Malik Zidi), son to a famous but unstable author, Florence Duhaut(Dominique Blanc), with his knowledge and charisma alone. While they enjoy hanging out with Andre, it is true that he also dominates the conversation. And in one case, he takes advantage of their confidence in wooing a comely librarian, Marguerite(Natacha Regnier).
"Poison Friends" is a nicely subtle character study that is also concerned with the very thought of ideas. Andre does pass on some knowledge, but he does not stop there, as he also manages to retard his friends' intellectual growth by not allowing them to think for themselves. Remember, it is always important to voice your own opinions, even if you disagree with others. |
