Le dernier des fous 2006
1h 35min | Drama | 3 January 2007 (France)
User review:
It was apparently very hard for Laurent Achard to archive his strange cinematographic new project : almost ten years have passed since his last movie “Plus qu’hier, moins que demain”, released in 1998. And when you see “Le dernier des fous”, it’s not really hard to understand why it took so much time to convinced a producer to put some money in the project : if its story is quite classic for a french “film d’auteur”, its style is so arid (there is no music, but only sour, experimental, distorted and natural noises ; most of the time, the frame stay still, and the sequences could be very long, as if time stops for minutes, etc.), that it’s certainly almost as difficult to watch than it was to make.
