Folie à Deux - Madness Made of Two
Folie à Deux - Madness Made of Two
Folie a Deux is a quintessentially English tale with a universal message. Prophetic and surprisingly humorous, the narrative is driven by a tenacious single mother of seven, who risks bankruptcy and homelessness to fulfill a dream. Shot over five years and set in the oldest house in England. This film is an intimate portrayal of a large bohemian family with all the ups and downs of daily life, an intriguing insight into England's history, and future. This is a nail-biting journey through the economic crash and life's biggest gamble. This is not a story of the conspicuous consumerism of billionaires; rather this is the human cost of the banking crisis.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A documentary presented by Nick Cave on the subject of Nick Cave. A few full-length songs are included, which were boring. A few conversations in Cave's car between him and Ray Winstone, Kylie Minogue and a previous Bad Seeds member are also included - all of which are boring, pointless and offer no insights into Nick Cave or anything else.In between that there are some clips of Cave discussing stuff with a therapist, clips of Cave talking about people he used to know, memories etc. Lots of ramblings about where he gets inspiration from (e.g. the stormy whether in Brighton, where he now resides). Just stuff like that.I watched this because I'd read some reviews that said it is a must for anyone interested in the creative process. In actual fact I found this skirted round the issue a lot, was a very vague look at one person's way of working and was punctuated with unnecessary and uninsightful conversations.Overall I found it unhelpful from a creativity point of view and dull from a documentary/film/entertainment point of view.

This might have been the worst movie I've ever seen. It was certainly the least entertaining. Of course, the world is full of egotistical people who think the world hangs (or should hang) on their every word, but movie makers don't usually indulge them. The ONLY interesting thing about this soporific film is why it was made -- and why anyone would sit through it. I initially thought the scene between Mr. Cave (self-indulgent) and his therapist (pompous) must be a joke, a la Spinal Tap, but alas no. After 30 minutes I began to doze. When I awoke to more of the same (Mr. Cave riding around in a car -- really?), I walked out of the theater.

First, I'm 22 years old. I've never once wrote a review but this wasted a huge amount of time being two full hours long.Secondly, the music left me wondering "Is this movie a joke?". I'm assuming this man made a film about his lifestyle? honestly, I don't know who he is, or what makes anyone like him, but I simply don't care to find out.I didn't know what to expect, and it was the worst movie I've ever seen in my life hands down. all i got from it was "the feels on stage" Dem feels man. Jesus, that's all he says repetitively. He seems narcissistic to me.It may just be my generation being born in the 1990's everyone in my generation I want to let you know Begin Again was an excellent film about music! check it out.

Dull. Incredibly dull. It just goes to prove that the art is far greater than the artist. In this rockumentary, Nick Cave is seen as tedious, self-justifying, self-absorbed, self-aggrandising, but above all dull. Long - endless actually - conversations and monologues tell us virtually nothing we need to know, though droning on about one's childhood may appeal to some. The 'celebrities' are little but extra listening posts. I am STUNNED that someone can actually think they are so important that we should be so interested in a museum of their lives. The very little we learn about the song-writing process amounts to nothing more than a series of platitudes. As a fan, and a sincere one, I am stricken to the core.
