The Secret of the Grain (La graine et le mulet) (2007)


The Secret of the Grain is like pushing a snowball around your yard. It starts off slow, but slowly builds bigger and bigger until there is no more snow on your yard and you have one big snowball rolled up. Then the sun comes out. Abdellatif Kechiche's style is very unformulaic and fresh. A true modern marvel. His movies tend to move at a slower pace, but the characters are so real that it is enjoyable. It feels like you are actually hanging out with the characters instead of watching them. These same feelings were true in his more recent Blue Is The Warmest Color. If I had to watch a 10 hour movie, I would hope that Abdellatif Kechiche was the one who created it. In fact, I hope his next feature IS 10 hours long ^_^

8/10

VERDICT: WATCH ALL OF ABDELL'S
