A good-looking but slim confection that's short on the multi-characterisation and sense of entwined destinies that mark the great Lelouch sagas. Jan 15, 2008 | Full Review…

According to common usage, the French word stupide comes closer to silly than to dumb, which is how I might rationalize my affection for this harebrained, obvious, but euphoric tale. Jan 15, 2008 | Full Review…

You'll either like this soaringly daft confection, even as it aggravates you with its self-absorption, or you won't. I did. Aug 29, 2003 | Rating: 2.5/4

The movie is overcrowded with ideas, any one of which might have made a fun premise. Put them all together and the result is just plain silly. Aug 29, 2003 | Rating: 1/5

It's silly the way hope, optimism and love are silly: silly and rather wonderful. Aug 22, 2003 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Lelouch isn't interested in anything so pedestrian as plausible narrative.... some people want to fill the world with silly love songs. Jan 2, 2005 | Rating: B-

Lelouch's wink at the viewer, his gentle undermining of the illusion of the dramatic unity of time and place, playfully tweaks the film's fundamental project of connection. Nov 11, 2004 | Full Review…

Because the majority of scenes are drawn out and obviously improvised, this disjointed and rambling confection will have limited appeal to others. Apr 16, 2004 | Rating: 2.25/5 | Full Review…

Lelouch ... assuring he doesn't fully lose his audience by the convolutions of the mind, still actively takes part in putting up a fog screen as to avoid total comprehension. Dec 31, 2003 | Rating: B | Full Review…

The acting by the cast in "and now... ladies and gentlemen" - both by great actors like Jeremy Irons, as well as others, like Patricia Kaas a famous Jazz singer, is beautiful, very deeply felt. I was moved by the expression in these two actor's eyes. But one mustn't consider and rate acting by itself in Lelouch movies,which I was not familiar with, but it is the unity of all skills and feelings that make his work so profound. The acting, directing, photography, music... they make up the story. This movie is filled with illusions, and incredible photographic beauty, specially the ones in Morocco. A must to see. somehow the Morocco inspector reminds me of the TV serie Inspector Colombo, (funny)

[font=Century Gothic][color=purple]"And Now...Ladies and Gentlemen" is about two people of different professions - Valentin Valentin(Jeremy Irons, who also played Humbert Humbert in "Lolita". What gives?), a jewel thief/master of disguise and Jane Lester(Patricia Kaas), a jazz singer - who are both suffering from the same physical malady - blackouts with an amnesia chaser. [/color][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=#800080][/color][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=#800080]It feels like Claude LeLouch is trying to make an old-fashioned romance but cannot really decide fully on the movie he wants to make. Does he want to make a tearjerker or "To Catch a Thief"? And the movie is none too plausible. But the Moroccan scenery is certainly nice. [/color][/font]
