La caméra de Claire (2017) Reviews
????
What does ???? mean? It means I'm not sure what to make of this movie. Part of the problem was a lack of clarity of a plot theme which was, I guess, intentional so that we would discover why a Korean female employee would be fired after 5 yrs of service w/out a reason other than her Korean boss (also female which plays into why later on) has a "feeling" of distrust in her employee. So, all takes place in Cannes for a film showing, and along comes a French music teacher who likes to take Polaroid style instantly printable photos & give them to the photographed person and tell them that process changes their lives (????). As far as Cannes it was just a couple of boring tacky streets; a restaurant table w/a dog that did nothing; an enclosed sidewalk that did nothing. The reason for the firing becomes obvious when a male film producer shows up, and that unveiling was as exciting as an afternoon nap.
Fascinating Korean-French film set in Cannes
La caméra de Claire (2017) was shown in the U.S. with the translated title Claire's Camera. It was written and directed by by the Korean filmmaker Sang-soo Hong. The great French Actor Isabelle Huppert plays Claire, who is on vacation in Cannes. Kim Manhee portrays Min-hee Kim, a young sales assistant for a Korean film distributor. Kim Manhee is director Sang-soo Hong's muse. The film begins with Min-hee being fired for no apparent reason. Her boss tells her, "I no longer consider you honest." However, she won't tell Min-Hee why she is being fired. Min-hee, with no job, is at liberty in beautiful Cannes, but, naturally, she is confused and depressed. She meets Claire, who is sunny and optimistic. Claire has a small Polaroid-style camera, with which she takes pictures of people she meets. People are typically happy to have been asked. (If Isabelle Huppert wanted to take your picture, wouldn't you be happy?) The basic plot of the film is the friendship between the two women as they set about trying to discover why Min-Hee was fired without apparent cause. It's an interesting concept, and it works well in this film. We saw this movie in its Rochester Premiere at the wonderful Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman Museum. It has an anemic IMDb rating of 6.6. It's not a must-see film, but it's much better than that. It will work well on the small scree.
photos have unexpected results
If you liked "faces places", a French documentary from last year, this film is for you. they are remarkably alike in a strange way. it's a nice little movie.
A microcosm of the human nature
It's a media satire about a simple story which means a beautiful lady named Jeon Man-hee who is innocent is accused of dishonesty because of the selfish motives from others. Jeon Man-hee is from South Korea, and so do the director So Wan-soo and his lover Nam Yang-hye. And Nam is Man-hee's ex-boss. Nam fires Man-hee because Man-hee once had a sexual relationship with So. This triangle relation occurs in Cannes, France. Soon there is a blonde lady who takes photos with a Polaroid instant camera meeting them. This lady is Claire from Paris. The appearance of Claire impacts them in a slow pace. From my view, I think Nam blames it all on Man-hee too much, and So is too chauvinistic to Man-hee. Man-hee is kind actually but people around her except Claire treat meanly to her. It's just a microcosm of the human nature under Claire's camera.
