April in Paris – ESCALIER C


Escalie C (1985) by Jean Charles Tacchella

More than 20 year that I’m looking for this film. Saw it first time in Brazil in 1986 and was completely in love with. I’ve just got the DVD in Paris.
Tacchella, who is famous for the warm, joyful "Cousin-Cousine" gives us a very downbeat, intense sort of soapie about a cold, egocentric young art critic, who learns to love through his involvement with the occupants of his apartment building. It's very difficult to like him and to believe in some of the artificial plot developments, but there are some very truthful scenes, performed by an excellent cast.
