La reine des pommes (2009) Reviews
not for everyone but not bad
in my opinion, the first 5 or so minutes of this film were some of the worst parts of a movie I had ever seen, in any film. I only understood what they meant at the end of the movie, this while they were still bad. but after theses scenes it gets much better (as you can see since I rates this 8). contrarily to what it is says, I do not find this is a comedy. I did not laugh often and if I did this would of been more "light chuckling". I would class this movie more of an absurd type reflection. being a fan of the absurd, I enjoyed most of the dialogues, alto of ideas which were represented within the film, etc. I also enjoyed the way it was shot and the atmosphere the director gave to it. This being said it is still really weird at some parts even for me, so if you are not into weird- absurd films this would probably not be for you. I also want to mention that this film has a terrific sound track.
Quirky and Some Fun, But Ultimately a Waste of Time
Usually I write IMDb reviews for one of two reasons: to tell everyone how great a film is OR to warn people off from seeing a film. In this case, it is the latter. It is hard for me to give a film a 6 when it aggravates me so much. I gave this one a 5 simply because it is a well intentioned film with some cute concepts. BUT it takes forEVER to get through those concepts to the very predictable ending. Sorry if I sound smarmy, but when i see a film like this one, all i can think is- "What is it about some young filmmakers ? If they would just study film history, they would know that this film has been made a thousand times, and that what they want to make is not unique. And then eventually they would make something worth watching." Anyway, the real name, not the stupid American name, is Queen of Apples; not Queen of Hearts, and that might tell you a lot. It's about a hapless young woman who can't get over being left by the love of her life. It's quirky and even funny for about the first half. But then it just gets s l o w e r and more repetitive . I have little patience with films that tread water for an hour, and i was about to leave, but then it was over.Out of 20 films I have seen as part of the 2011 French Film Festical, this was the only dud, the only one that left me angry for wasting my time. Sigh. But I won't be surprised if this woman makes a very good film some day. The lead character reminded me a bit of the terrific actress/writer of The Iceberg, a film which i implore you to see instead of this one.
Queen of Hearts
I'm not sure about the meaning of the French phrase "La reine des pommes". If translated directly, it'll be named as "The Queen of Apples". But the movie has nothing to do with apples. The American name of the movie is "The Queen of Hearts". I think it indicates us that it's all about finding true love. It seems like the "former appearance" of Pierre is some kind of "fake love". It's just a naive girl's imagination of love relationship. She believed love should last forever at first. So, after love faded, she abandoned herself in the imagination. The imagination covers up the difference of those 4 men. They look the same in her view. Gradually, her desire for love turned blind. She couldn't tell true heart from dirty flirt. Eventually, after the dramatic accident happened, she fell into a faint, and that put all these upside-down things to an end. Her fake love imagination was proved to be an illusion. She could finally see the true appearance of Pierre, who is the only one treated her with true heart. I think the director pick some typical scenes to portray the growth of an inexperienced young girl. Ingenious.
