I thought I'd let you know that at the moment, on www.allocine.fr, BBM is best movie of 2006 according to the votes from the members of the site.
See here: http://www.allocine.fr/evenement/top-des-films/default_gen_annee=2006.html

And also from the votes given by critics.
See here: http://www.allocine.fr/evenement/top-des-films/topPresse_gen_annee=2006.html

It might change with more movies coming, but it's still nice to see.

Wonderful news, Lilie ! Come on, 1.......2......3...... Vive la France !

Have you seen what's voted number one .. The New World.......The New World?...........THE NEW WORLD ?

Iv'e seen this....please please God give me those 2+ hours of my life back.

I'd rather sit in a cinema next to Pee Wee Herman than watch that pile of rubbish again.

How could this dreadful movie be voted ahead of Brokeback Mountain "the Magnificent"

Totally Off Topic : I like this movie. I even write an critique on Allocine.

Quote

Je tenais juste à dire que ce genre de film manque au cinéma en ce moment. Peu de paroles et pourtant tant de choses sont dites et non dites. Il y des choses bien plus profondes et puissante que ces paroles là, ceux des personnages. Une magnifique musique et images qui nous berce, nous envoie, nous envole, loin au très loin vers ces nouvelles terre encore inconnu, celle de l'amour, de bonheur, du malheur, de la découverte, du passé, du futur, du présent, de la vie. La très jeune actrice qui tiens le rôle principal et qui a tout juste 16ans est tout simplement Belle, d’une vrais beauté a tout point de vu. Farrell & Bale sont juste effrayant de justesse, de profondeur, de regards et de retenu. Malgré cela, la fin, quand a elle est peut être un peu trop rapide, un peu trop expéditive. La nature, cette mère - mer.

But I prefer BBM of course !

And please again, VOTE !!

Not my cup of tea. But as a movie lover I would never tell someone not to go see a movie or not. You might absolutely adore it.

I've had better experiences at the dentists.

Just for the sake of contrast, I found "The New World" langorous. It's a flawed script, ultimately, that does it in, but there are some bright spots worth seeing (and a big screen would help):

1. The understated (imagine that!) performance of Colin Farrell as a man taken over by the New World.
2. The gorgeous face/eyes/hair/beard/etc. of the above mentioned man. ;-)
3. The incredible Q'Orianka Kilcher, as Pocohantas - naive, innocent at one point, tough the next moment, ultimately ruined. Much like the new world itself.
4. The lush cinematography and the power of the natural environment. Brokeback had the same powerful natural world to back up a solid story.

You could turn the film off when Christian Bale arrives, because it falls apart there, for me. If you just sit back and float (like the boats) through this world you've never seen before, it can be quite a fascinating journey; just get off the boat and get to shore before it starts sinking in the last half hour or so.

Apologies for going off topic!

Surely no other film from any director or country has ever done this well ? Brokeback Mountain forever !

I just love the fact it is doing well everywhere. The doubters must be eating their words as we speak

Lilie · « **Reply #45 on:** Mar 04, 2006, 07:33 PM »

Yeah, I love that, too. The general audience is not given enough credit. People are ready for that kind of movie. We need more of them.

backtobrokeback, thanks for your thoughts on The New World. I'll keep them in mind when/if I go see it.

The movie apparantly opens in Germany on 9th March. Do you think we may see a few more members here, from there?

stephan · « **Reply #51 on:** Mar 08, 2006, 05:25 PM »

Lilie, Mars, we can do better than that !

After analysing the figures at allociné.fr, where BBM has more than one million entrées since the opening on 16 January, there are only 5 other films that have more entrées (Bronzés 3, Bambi 2, Narnia, Kirikou, Je vous trouve très beau). Therefore, Brokeback Mountain is number 6 in France practically since the new year !!!!!!!!!

Stephan

Lost_Girl · « **Reply #52 on:** Mar 13, 2006, 01:38 AM »

Paris : 17eme (-3) : 12895 entrées(-40.01% par rapport à semaine précédente) sur 12 copies (-14)

TOTAL PARIS : 377523 entrées (7 eme semaine)

Sur France:
15eme place (-1) mais il y avait 3 grosses nouveautés...
64932 entrées (-21.60%) sur 258 copies (+5)

TOTAL FRANCE : 1109556 entrées

Voici another update on BBM in French theatres (source is allociné.fr) :

As of 14 March, BBM has registered approximately 1 167 000 viewers since it arrived 8 weeks ago (16 January).

There are still 252 theatres showing it (it's still in Strasbourg !!!).

Only 4 other films have had more viewers : 1) Les Bronzés 3 ; 2) Je vous trouve très beau ; 3) Bambi 2 ; 4) Fauteuils d'orchestre. Which means BBM is still number 5 in popularity.

Evil post-scriptum : trash isn't even in the top 20....

Stephan

pierralex · « **Reply #55 on:** Mar 18, 2006, 12:41 PM »

Well it's a good result I think, especially since there was almost no advertising for it (except in Paris) :D

Mars · « **Reply #56 on:** Mar 18, 2006, 01:16 PM »

Vive la France!
French people has well awarded the oscars...

Lilie · « **Reply #57 on:** Mar 22, 2006, 12:10 PM »

The only time I heard about it, personnally, was when I watched this special "Movies of 2006" on Canal+. So I would say that it's indeed not a lot. Although, last time I was in Aix-en-Provence, there were new posters on these movie publicity things, saying that it won Golden Globes and was nominated for the Oscars.

What surprises me the most is that the movie theater I go to doesn't show a lot of movies, because it shows only subtitled movies, so they don't have a lot of audience. And Munich started showing there about two weeks ago and isn't there anymore, while Brokeback is still shown, even though it started showing the day it was released. Now, that's what I call a nice local success.

As of today, Heath being 27 years and 1 day old, Brokeback Mountain is playing in 49 theatres in France (including chez moi !), and is still number 6 in terms of number of tickets sold.
