Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
d-00278 I guess every man wants a Angel A. She's so pretty,considerate and do everything he says. Andre's a loser by any standards and Angel comes down from heaven to save his life. It won't happen actually but the film makes it come true. I love the film so much that I took the poster as my wallpaper of my phone.
Syl This film is about Andre Moussah, a broke man on the edge with debts to pay, in beautiful Paris, France. He jumps off one of the city's bridges one early Sunday morning to save a beautiful woman named Angela. She is tall, blonde, fast talking, intelligent , and ready to help Andre out any way she can. The movie is beautifully done in black and white with Paris in all its glory. Andre and Angela make an unlikely couple but Angela isn't who she appears to be. The actors do a first rate job in making me love this pair. I love the music. Luc Besson is a brilliant director who also wrote the screenplay. Besides being serious, this film is a lot of fun to watch anyway. You wish to be like Angela.
Akash Mukherjee Luc Besson delivers.Not just as a director but as a visionary.We see exactly what he wants us to see.And believe me,what he sees is indescribable beyond words.Angel-A is not your typical love story.It breaks your heart and takes your breath at some points.A story revolving around Andre- a scamster who gets into deep trouble with Parisian loansharks finds himself standing on a bridge ,ready to jump off into the Seine below,having few other choices with his life.He turns to look around and sees a beautiful woman ready to jump off too.As she jumps into the river,he saves her.In return,she offers him any favour he wants.Soon,the story gathers pace as we see Andre and Angel-A,working their way to get Andre out of trouble with the mobsters.but as time flies on,Andre finds himself falling in love with the woman.Those who haven't watched the movie,my advice to you is-Please do.A beautiful love story set in the romantic city of Paris,Angel-A will steal your heart.A story that mainly focuses on character-development rather than mindless script work,Angel-A is a gem from Luc Besson.
rapace33 "Angel-A" it is some kind of a French remake from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" with James Stewart. If you love Paris, You will love this movie. A magnificent cinematography in black-and-white in the landscapes of the city of lights. Paris ( la Belle ). As a Parisian myself now leaving in the USA, I am also recommending to watch the making of the movie, fascinating. Tons of Behind the Scenes Footage. "Mais biensur", knowing the French language helps tremendously. I am certain that it is losing a lot in translation because of the extensive use of the slang language by all the characters in the movie. it is not as powerful the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" or the movie "some like it hot" or "the misfit" all movies made in black and white. Yet it grows on you and it is an excellent comedy, when you have been able to stop judging the movie for the choice of all the characters. But I realized that to make the movie plausible, the choice of characters make sense even though that I would have preferred to here the language of Molière, but we are in the 21st century where French language now are using words such as computeur or couriel. Not a lot to celebrate about the French language nowadays, I know that the French have drifted away from the writing of Victor Hugo or Balzac. I am accepting the evolution of the language and I can therefore say that I have enjoyed the movie.
