Here is a new column, for a film simply giant! A grand film, which looks tirelessly! To see and review! In the Electric Mist is one of the latest film by French director Bertrand Tavernier . This is a film shot entirely in United States, specifically in the State of Louisiana . The look, one could think that this film was made by a French. I can not judge the work of Tavernier since The Electric Mist is the only movie I saw him. To be honest, we have the right to something truly masterful. One of my favorite movies is all! How to shoot because I was stuck, it's all beautiful ... There is also an excellent cast, with Tommy Lee Jones , Mary Steenburgen, John Goodman , Peter Sarsgaard , the lovely Kelly McDonald , or Levon Helm, who plays the ghost of General John Bell Hood . So today, we'll make another way to review a film. Images images captured by, I will comment on each photo, then a final time, to conclude with some impressions method already made in other reviews. But here, the movie is so awesome, he deserves to be addressed: more than once!
Inspector Dave Robicheaux works in the small town of New Iberia in Louisiana. A murder has been committed near the marshes. That's when his memory resurfaces in another case, dating back over forty years. It was the murder of a black. Both investigations will then mingle with each other. But today, a young prostitute has been brutally murdered. To him, no doubt, this is the same serial killer. He will then contact all persons, witnesses or not, who rubbed the girl.
The voiceover of Dave, this more or less part on the entire film is reminiscent of the story an old man could tell in his memoirs. The voiceover begins early in the film, and often call upon memories of drunken Dave or later with his visions with General John Bell Hood , military of the Confederate Civil War . One day, while patrolling in Dave pick-up in New Iberia it comes from a deep sleep by a Ferrari that runs much faster than the regulatory rigor. There he will meet a key character in the film.
So at this stage of the film he made the acquaintance of Elrod Sykes, movie actor filming in the region. He is accompanied by his beautiful wife, also an actress Kelly Drummond . Driving drunk driving equal to the position of sheriff. But Elrod will give Dave elements in addition to its investigation, without realizing it himself. On the set, when walking on a road near the marsh, Elrod saw a corpse surrounded skeletal chains. But yes of course, Dave the clue, it is the body of black assassinated forty years ago. Dave contracted with Elrod , he passed the sponge over his state of intoxication, and should lead to the place where the dead is located.
Once reached the marsh, Dave , Elrod and a sheriff , discovered the corpse . Why continue to want to rehash an old case of more than forty years? But guess what, Dave conscience will not until he got his hands on the killer . It is probably the same as that of assassain girl. He knows for sure, but who? Maybe this former local mafia,''Julius Baby Feet Balboni ''. A short visit is therefore required from this dealer, well known as Dave when they were kids.
In Julius Balboni, Dave learns that this old acquaintance later became mafia, has been converted into the entertainment industry as a film producer. Is it a pathological liar? Maybe not, but you never know ... Indeed Julius claims to have invested a huge sum of money in the film that turns the corner. The film Elrod Sykes .
But we will very quickly Julius not serial killer is looking Dave . But learn later that he knows a lot about the case. Only as a simple spectator , we do not share the same opinion as Dave, who does not let the song. For him, it Julius the sole culprit !
While Julius offers hospitality and the right to speak to Dave , he began to get excited for the tooth he has against him. He asks her to leave immediately.
Unable to connect for now with Julius , Dave must go to two other people. The first is County Sheriff . Itself also invests some of its money in the film Balboni. It deals with surveillance cameras. The sheriff nothing can bring on new business, or even for the old. But perhaps he does not get wet too?
Dave goes to visit one of his old friends, Sat ''''Hogman Patin , a former prisoner the State Penitentiary. But Dave , Sat , has nothing to do in all this. Itself can not bring anything to the investigation, but really cares.
Elrod and his wife Kelly come make a visit of courtesy to Dave and his family. Elrod booze always be a hole, and replenishes the supply of beer at the store kept by a friend of Dave in their common home.
The beautiful Kelly Drummond is a lot of worries for Elrod . She does not like this way of life, but she loves nothing more ...
Dave understands, he understands.
Talking with Dave , Elrod says that nearly swamps in the evening you can see a campfire in the distance. Once Elrod approached the camp. It is a Camp Confederate soldiers . He even had the opportunity to discuss with General John Bell Hood . Hood able Elrod said that Dave had one of the guns of one of its soldiers. He even added that he knew personnelment! He, Dave ! Interesting but very strange ...? Does Elrod suffers from delusions alcoholic? No, but the next great film!
Subsequently, Dave returns persecute Julius. Their meeting takes place in a restaurant of New Iberia . This interview is going rather badly as to trigger a fight. However Julius delivers a new name. That of a mac who could have done the work murdered girl. This mac is in a bus station a nearby town . With two or three punches in the figure, the mac gives a new track, but rather vague. That of a bald man who have links with the police or mafia. But all this does not tell us more ...
And then what ... the investigation is not moving much. Dave goes in search of new witnesses. And that night, a call is given. That of a woman rather young, he would reveal the identity of the real culprit! She gives him go to a bar. Dave waiting all night ... not a sign of life from the young woman . Dave out of the bar, he was shot ...! This response! Not a sound. He goes to the car from where the shots came from ... a young woman died by a bullet in the head! Is this the daughter of the appointment? Later the coroner affirm that the girl was dead before the shooting, and bullets do not match the caliber of Dave .
Over time, Dave starts to drink with exaggeration. And the famous Confederate soldiers that Elrod confirmed seeing are indeed real. They exist and it is not the first time Dave the meeting. It was in their camp, discussed with General John Bell Hood more than once. This General Hood is a good person. Wise and benevolent, he can guide and assist the poor in his words Dave it no longer knows where he stands.
Therefore, John Bell Hood incentive to go see Dave Julius Balboni for him to settle accounts once and for all! Onsite Dave rehashing childhood memories as Julius likes to hear, and that, that has the gift to infuriate ! Always as good drummer in this Balboni baseball ?? The proof in pictures:
Now the General John Bell Hood and his patrol must leave ... The Confederates that are mere illusions that during states of drunkenness or drug taking, would confirm only that then everything starts to fade? The goal that seeks Dave is it close? This General it is consciousness. A photo memory will nevertheless put before the big departure.
A too old suspect, Julius Balboni that reveals the key moment of the film ... Want to know more ...? Then look In Electric Mist !
So ultimately, an article like this, made me spend more than seven hours of work to make it. So above: reviewing it !
