Apt comparison to describe Desplechin's style.

Any other filmmaker use both hip hop and classical in his soundtrack? Other things I rate highly: *dialogue wallowing in things we usually don't dare say- the way the characters air out their laundry for the world to see is refreshing; *the characters themselves- they're wonderfully flawed and all-too human; *details like the musketeer cape, the letter that left a mark; *the irony of just living, exposed.

Like the best Woody Allen films, Kings and Queen boldly endeavors to blend tragedy and comedy, and always foregrounds moments of emotional truth. Arnaud Desplechin explores creative ways to track his story, skillfully varying rhythms and imbuing his characters with depth and subtly. Mathieu Almeric is great. https://filmcapsule.wordpress.com/2010/12/11/kings_queen/

Kinda disappointing. A 150 minutes is too much for this movie, that actually offers a simple premise. And it lacks the charm of Desplechin's next film, A Christmas Tale.
