Film Review: The Beat That My Heart Skipped
The Beat That My Heart Skipped (Jacques Audiard, 2005)
In French, with English subtitles
In this film is one of the most intense performances (by a lead actor) I've seen on screen. The film shows a man in a crossroad. He seems to be on the same path as his father's, one that leads him to the Paris underworld of property dealings. His mother was a concert pianist, and his chance encounter with his mother's associate, puts him in the crossroad.

The gangster subplot of the film reminds me of Martin Scorsese. The film has a Scorsese feel/touch. And it's really good.
Rating: 4.0/4.0
