TONNERRE (France/106’/2013)

Love, sex aur Dhokha!

Life, love, betrayal and revenge, Tonnerre directed by Guillaume Brac revolves around these words. Maxime, 33 years old, is a musician coming from Paris living with his father in Tonnerre city. He is interviewed by a young local reporter, Melody, 21 years. Their first interview proves to be good knowing each other and they decide to meet again. They both slowly fall for each other ending up making love almost every day at Maxime’s apartment. Till this point the script remains interesting and absorbing.



However, when the second half starts, the script let the hopes down by taking a very usual love triangle shift, with Maxime even kidnapping Melody in the end sequences. The film, which remains intriguing in the first half certainly losses its charm in the second. The story seems to get pretty usual with happy ending for everyone. Still the actor Vincent Macaigne (Maxime) manages well to pullout the film with fine sense of acting in the second half. The film does say about a human caught in dilemma but fell a little short to give the complete meaning to it.
