Just perfect...

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Kim Nguyen's Le Marais is a great tale of the good and the evil. Add to that a touch of magic and fantasy and you've got an entertaining film by this newcomer. The story somehow reminded me of the great Of Mice and Men. The photography is nice and it's interesting to see what can still be done with a limited budget. And the performances of the lead actors are good. There's a certain sense of mystery that add to the film. Good to watch.Out of 100, I gave it 78. That's good for **½ out of ****.Seen in Toronto, during Cinéfranco, at the Famous Players Canada Square Cinemas, on March 30th, 2003.

The visuals of this film alone are amazing. The story is full of emotion relying more on body language and actions than words to portray the characters. Dreamy, sad, magical. Very good acting especially by Paul Ahmarani.

"Le Marais" is truly an impressive work of art for a first-timer film-maker like Kim Nguyen, and it would be impressive from just any experienced director. It is a very emotional fantastic/philosophical tale, exploring the notion of the scapegoat.The story is very well written, the actors are good and the images are breathtaking. The new techniques Kim Nguyen used for the optimization of the colors are revolutionary.A must-see (if you're open minded and willing to see something different for a change)!

This movie is excellent and extremely well filmed. One of the movies best filmed and photographed I have ever seen. The movie reaches deep into you, the actors, the sets are perfect, the story is beautiful and dark and mysterious. It concerns deamons and human struggles. It is not phony. See it.
