    Les Sept jours du Talion

    Reviewed by

    OK, I have been anxiously awaiting this movie, the 3rd book by Senecal to be brought to the big screen (after Sur le seuil and 5150 rue des Ormes) The first one was excellent, and the second one was very good, solid. This one was a disappointment. The acting was very good, so that was not the problem. I have to blame the directing and editing. Podz (his real name is Daniel Grou) made some weird decisions in my opinion. He chose to have absolutely no musical score, leaving the movie a very quiet affair. His camera work was also quite questionnable, with several sequences leaving us wondering what in the heck he wanted to show us or lead us to. The cuts from scene to scene seemed very clumsy and sudden, often catching us by surprise... and some of the black screens in between scenes were just too long and very awkward. Don't get me wrong, I have seen and adore many very low budget modestly shot movies, but this one just doesn't work. Too bad. 5/10, so, so, no better.
