Magic Marmalade 6th Feb 2025		>Note: Is it me, or does the score for this movie, great though it is, sound like a straight rip-off of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark's: Maid Of Orleans?<



Magic Marmalade 6th Feb 2025		Rated 8/10 Sympathy for an old Devil. This one is a more intimate, warm experience than the other two movies in the trilogy, and has a more... magical (perhaps) feel to it. At times, it feels like it could be a prototype Amelie, though minus the whimsy, and surrealist element. Valentine, a somewhat lonely fashion model, strung along by a boyfriend via phone calls, accidentally hits a dog in her car one night, and takes it to the owner's address, where she discovers a somewhat bitter, cynical and disconsolate older man, an ex-judge, who is using his scanning gear to eavesdrop on the neighbour's phone conversations, and hear the tangled tangled nature of their lives. She, being somewhat more idealistic, and morally straight, is disgusted at this, and takes him to task about it, and something about this quality in her seems to spark something in this old judge, perhaps a hope for himself of some kind, and so, through lengthy moral discussions, they begin to forge an unlikely friendship, and bond. The lives of these other neighbours are most explicitly portrayed in one of the parallel story threads by one young guy, prospective boyfriend of one of the neighbours, and coincidentally, a neighbour of, and yet stranger to Valentine, who's fortunes mirror the life and times of the old judge. There is a magical / mystical quality to the story being told, but it's not heavy handed, or explicit... but it is overtly expressed in the final scene. Quite a captivating movie, which rounds out the trilogy nicely... I still think Blue is the bona-fide masterpiece of the set, and this one is the next best, but all three make for surely one of the great trilogies of modern cinema. >One final note: If you get these on physical media, don't get the Artificial Eye releases that I watched, the audio on these discs is mostly horrific!< ✔︎ Helpful Review?
