The Last Diamond (E)

Simon is released from prison on Parole. Old habits never die and he is on a plot to steal the most valuable diamond. He is smart, intelligent and a crook. Combination for a super smart  heist of most protected diamond. What is more beautiful and classy  Julia  (Berenice Bejo ) is the women who holds the key to the safe.

What follows, as you can guess, is ingenuity, smartness, seduction and a smart act. Although plans seldom go where the planner wants it.

This is a polished and quintessential French flick. Classic French movie underplaying and tells the story as it is. It is a gripping movie with a straight down the line and subdued yet livley performance by Yvan Attal (Simon) and Berenice Bejo.  Good winter night escape. Watch it.

Uyare (M)

Another gem from Kerala.

Parvathy Thiruvothu acts (rather lives as) as an aspiring young pilot about to fly her first flight. But then ….

Malayalam actors and directors never get tempted to turn/over turn the sentimental screw. Movies is brilliant and handles a very very serious issues and handles very well.

Excellent acting and drama. Parvathi’s portrayal is a big plus point. Typical Malayalam movie and respects viewer’s intelligence.
