Just finished watching Angel-A...
A 2005 subtitled film, written and directed by Luc Besson; starring Jamel Debbouze and the astounding Rie Rasmussen. A sort of french version of It's a wonderful life, except this time the angel is a towering blonde amazon who likes smoking and kicking people's asses. But, as always, french cinema really looks at a subject and shows you the beautiful but mundane moment in a way completely opposite to how mainstream UK/US films would; which usually only manage to be trite and corny, just pretending to be deep to look deep. Great film. 8/10.
