Undertaker's Paradise (2000)
German Black Comedy Doesn't Work
When I heard that this film was a German Black Comedy I was very interested in it, cause I like both German Comedy and Black Comedy. But the combination of them both doesn't work: "Undertaker's Paradise" is surely one of the most boring films I saw this year, not funny and not "black" at all. I liked the Welsh nature you could see in this film, for this I'll give it 3 out of 10, but forget about the rest.
Chocolat (2000)
A wonderful fairy-tale!
This film is a really wonderful fairy tale. Nothing more, but also nothing less! You may not expect an excellent story with well-developed characters and worked-out dialogues, but for about two hours you will be entertained very well. Marvelous images, brilliant actors like Binoche, Dench and, yes, I also liked Molina playing the Compte! I expected more from Johnny Depp, for my taste his role is not the best for him to play. But I enjoyed watching that movie, and no-one can tell me that he wouldn't like to taste the "Chocolat"! One thing really didn't fit: No Frenchman would read anything written in English, especially not in the late 50s. It would have made it a bit more perfect, if all the little handouts had been written in French!
