Review For Chicken with Plums
This dreamy, visually inventive Iranian drama functions on so many levels of reality and obsession that it almost ceases to entertain. John Hartl-Seattle Times Chicken is a movie that begins with a crescendo and doesn't sustain its lyricism. Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer "Predictability" is not in Satrapi and Paronnaud's vocabulary, and that is no small thing in this or any other movie era. But the whole those parts form never exceeds their sum. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe "Chicken With Plums" is a whimsical, sad, diverting and altogether delightful exploration of how cinema can benefit, not only from glancing back at its own past, but by staying open to parallel forms of presentation and play. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post This highly stylized, often beautiful rumination on life and art and the choices we make just sort of lies there, waiting to expire. John Anderson-Newsday For the most part it's a savory treat, much like the titular dish. Tom Horgen-Minneapolis Star Tribune ...an admirable trip down the rabbit hole of a lonely man's mind and inspiration, but it loses its way about halfway through the movie and feels like a series of inspired, lovely short films, held together by the barest of threads. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com ... uneven blend of whimsy and surrealism that's visually compelling but narratively flat. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Takes its time creating sad beauty Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit Resurrects the spirit of Middle Eastern fables, albeit with a French twist. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch [Amalric] anchors Satrapi and Paronnaud's magical visual range and an emotional journey that zips from ecstasy to tragedy and back again. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune Satrapi and Parronnaud give us clues but no solution. The fun, for those of us who like fairy tales, is in guessing. Lawrence Toppman-Charlotte Observer Directors Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi use various cinematic tricks to examine their protagonist and his life. Voice-over narration, animation and music are a few of the options with which they compose their narration. Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) It's fascinating as an offbeat storytelling exercise. Mike Russell-Oregonian Tepid stew. James Verniere-Boston Herald Fluctuating between the extraordinary and the dull, with sections of narrative explication and tangents, Chicken With Plums can be as frustrating as it is ambitious. It's more like Chicken With Plums -- and the Kitchen Sink. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle There are a few writing problems and the melancholy mood weighs heavily, but Amalric's performance remains the film's rallying point. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express The simplicity of animation and story in ["Persepolis"] is put aside for the far more complex and layered "Chicken with Plums," Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews It's one of the year's unique and most entertaining movies. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
