The Voices: funny and offbeat thriller Marjane Satrapi – She

History

Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) lives in a hole, that is to say an American city without charm. Worker in a bathtub factory, it seems well integrated, even if it sometimes seems borderline if his gaze seems to be lost in the distance. Only home he has great conversations with her cat and dog. As the angel and devil Snowy, they give him conflicting advice, the feline is rather perverse. But Jerry falls in love …

Why we love “The Voices”

At the moment of “Reality” to “Inherent Vice”, the films seem interested in hallucinations, that of them are due to the dream like in the movie by Quentin Dupieux or drugs, as in Paul Thomas Anderson. Here the filmmaker is interested in a schizophrenic killer haunted by hallucinations. It takes all the finesse of the game Ryan Reynolds to get to play this psychotic killer, always between two worlds, in search of a normal life but dominated by his impulses. Has long been known (from “Buried”?) That the ex-husband of Scarlett Johansson was perfect in ambitious roles. As for Gemma Aterton she shines again, hilarious victim who loses the head.

But Marjane Satrapi, lest we forget, is also a child of comics. It therefore has a taste for the grotesque and exaggerated; Freddy hallucinations sometimes remind imaging Tim Burton. But his taste for images will shock perhaps the faint hearted. There was blood, hacksaws. So if we laughed the whole time of the film, not out without some anxiety that lingers a bit.
