Anyone who assumed it might be Lelouch\u2019s sign-off, however, was quite mistaken. He\u2019s made three features since, the latest of which, \u201cFinally,\u201d seems fashioned from its title down as a sort of career summation from the 86-year-old filmmaker, but not portentously so. A peculiar, weightless confection that bounces antically between narratives, perspectives, periods and varying grips on reality, it treats even grave mortal matters with near-cartoonish buoyancy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Premiering out of competition at the Venice Film Festival, accompanying a career-achievement award presentation to Lelouch, his 51st feature is an unapologetically self-involved work, strictly for the director\u2019s most devoted admirers. (A French release has been scheduled for November 13, but it\u2019ll be a far harder sell elsewhere.) Loyalists may have fun parsing various in-jokes and nested references to Lelouch\u2019s own oeuvre, as once again, he delves into his sizable back catalogue for inspiration, this time landing on some deeper cuts. The uninitiated are likely to be left completely adrift by the film\u2019s tonal ricochets between cornball comedy and moist-eyed melodrama, with all the <em>chanson <\/em>interludes you\u2019d expect from a project that bills itself in the opening credits as \u201ca musical fable brought to life by Claude Lelouch.\u201d If your toes curl then and there, consider that your cue to leave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cFinally\u201d nominally picks up on characters, story strands and even song snippets from 1972\u2019s \u201cMoney Money Money\u201d and 1973\u2019s \u201cHappy New Year\u201d \u2014 both crime capers headlined by Italian star Lino Ventura, both excerpted here as flashbacks \u2014 though their bearing on the present may be clear only to the director himself. The new film\u2019s protagonist, middle-aged lawyer Lino Cassaro (co<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>n Kad Merad) shares his name with the career criminal at the center of \u201cMoney Money Money.\u201d Perhaps Lelouch is sampling himself to offer some comment on the duality of man, though the simpler explanation is that the former is the latter\u2019s son, motivated toward the right side of the law by his father\u2019s shady adventures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Successful in his career and married to L\u00e9a (Elsa Zylberstein, in a thankless role), a famous and much younger actress, Lino Jr. seems an unlikely candidate to drop everything and head off alone on a walking journey across France. This impulsive decision, it turns out, is the result of a mysterious movie-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> brain condition that suddenly prevents the successful defense attorney from lying \u2014 an affliction that has messy consequences for his job and his marriage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    There\u2019s a more serious neurological disorder at work here too, as we learn in the course of his episodic, golden-lit trek, which sees him bonding with various salt-of-the-earth folks along the way \u2014 notably a neglected, piano-playing farm wife (Fran\u00e7oise Gillard), who responds eagerly to his leading suggestion that she watch \u201cThe Bridges of Madison County.\u201d Another subplot, rather abruptly shoehorned into proceedings, revolves around another \u201cMoney Money Money\u201d descendant: Lino\u2019s half-sister Sandrine (Sandrine Bonnaire), the daughter of an activist for sex workers\u2019 rights (played by Nicole Courcel in the 1972 film), who has continued fighting her mother\u2019s cause in the present day. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s a development that sits oddly amid all the film\u2019s surrounding frippery, as do some haphazard Second World War flashbacks \u2014 set particularly oddly to a busy, jaunty jazz score by celebrated trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf that may represent the film\u2019s chief asset to non-aficionados of its director. More complementary to the film\u2019s musical design is Lino\u2019s passion for trumpet-playing, picked up along the way on his journey. This unfortunately enables multiple reprises of a grievously whimsical ballad of the romance between a horn and a piano, but does at least give us a memorably odd scene of our hero riffing away on his instrument at Le Mans on race day, as cars screech and zoom below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In what increasingly feels like a stream-of-consciousness exercise, editor St\u00e9phane Mazalaigue embraces blunt transitions and tonal swerves, though the film doesn\u2019t seem entirely in command of its incoherence. Maxine Heraud\u2019s digital lensing alternates between heavily filtered stylization and a somewhat harsh candid aesthetic, but never quite channels the romanticism of vintage Lelouch \u2014 not as much, at least, as the catchy, oft-repeated title song, most affectingly performed by Merad and Eurovision star Barbara Pravi (playing Lino\u2019s daughter) at the long-brewing emotional climax of this cluttered, often baffling film. \u201cLife chases us, embraces us, replaces us,\u201d they sing tremulously: \u201cFinally\u201d does all three in any given scene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
