Review, the cast with Isabelle Adjani absolute protagonist
Top shots repeated, redundant music of atmosphere, dialogues always over the top as well as acting. A narrative that approaches, rather than the Crime genre, to certain melodramas stolen from soap Turkish. The bad guys are very recognized as well as the good, the police never understand anything and the only one to discover the truth is the intrepid protagonist. Despite the predictability of events, Soleil Noir It is a perfect summer pastime without pretensions, with the right dose of fun.
The tone and intentions of the miniseries are highly highlighted in the funeral sequence, in the monologue of Isabelle Adjani. A delusional rally in which he accuses the dead of every inception, showing a allure to Joan Collins in pure style Dynasty And the manipulative coldness of a fragile and disturbed creature, victim of his own deceptions.
Of course, if it had been produced in Italy, Soleil Noir it could have become a farcea mere parody of the 1980s telenoveles. But that certain glamor of across the Alpscombined with a subtle sense of humor and awareness of one’s limits, It manages to keep the viewer’s attention high and the ability to capture some surprise effects.
Isabelle Adjani steals the whole scene And the cast, although well assorted, can do nothing but stay back. His is a Dark Lady character and from head of the head ready for anything to defend the interests of the children. A woman who seduces even when she enters a asylum. A company certainly not easy. Among the interpreters, there is Thibault de Montalembert, actor much loved in the success series Call my agent!.
