Stefan Robeli in 2017 created a film project in the best traditions of French romantic comedies, characterized by a fascinating plot, the presence of a love triangle and the immense charm of the actors. Romkom “Mr. Stein goes online” received extremely laudatory reviews; his IMDb rating is 6.40.
Synopsis
The plot message of the movie “Mr. Stein goes online” (2017) is better to characterize than the legend of Cyrano de Bergerac in the Google era. The narrative contains a lot of references to the immortal work of Edmond Rostand. It should be noted that S. Robeli, who spoke in two guises - a visionary and a screenwriter, approached the film adaptation with all responsibility. All characters are modernized, but not to the detriment of logic. The protagonist - an elderly widower Pierre (P. Richard) communicates with young Flora (F. Vallett) online on a dating site, but, like his literary prototype, captivates the interlocutor with the elegance of the syllable and captivating sincerity. The root cause by which the hero avoids meeting in reality is also justified and understandable - de Bergerac was embarrassed by his nose, and the character of Richard, fearing to reveal his true age to the virtual lover, is forced to engage Alex, inexperienced in matters of the heart (Janis Lespere).
On the patterned patterns
Thus, a classic love triangle crystallizes in Robel, which does not have an unconditionally worse or better outcome, from which the culmination of a romantic comedy, as the reviews on “Mr. Stein goes online,” only wins. Due to the aromatic nature of the Parisian romantic atmosphere, the presence of a touch of light flirting, the sophistication of the relationship and the sensitivity of the confessions, the project after viewing leaves a delicious aftertaste.
Reviews on “Mr. Stein Goes Online,” published by movie experts, point to a decent level of exposure to all comedic genre standards, without exception. Of course, the romk of 2017 can not be compared with the cult “Unlucky” and “To the Left of the Elevator”, but there are enough episodes in the film that cause an upright smile. The episode of introducing Pierre's daughter and granddaughter to the main character of her new lover is exemplary in observing French genre canons. Naturally, without stupid things, like opening windows to the street instead of starting programs, it also could not do. But according to the verdict published in the reviews on “Mr. Stein goes online,” the tape takes into account the interests of the public of different ages to the greatest extent than similar samples about generational conflict.
Acting Ensemble
There is no doubt the fact that without the painstaking professional work of the performers, the picture would hardly have turned out so pretty. In “Mr. Stein Goes Online,” the actors involved are charismatic and extremely charming. Pierre Richard, naturally, in his 83 years old is completely different from the works of F. Weber, but something else is required of him - he embodies the noble old age of a European intellectual, who allowed himself to breathe again with a full chest. The renowned performer adequately plays out the image of the “wedding general”, not expected for his high status and years, and does this, demonstrating all the facets of his unsurpassed talent. Richard is not at all embarrassed by the imprint of his past years, which, surprisingly, suits his face, deft gimmicks and hilarious pantomimics are replaced by a deep dramatic play.
The harmoniousness of the Frenchman Janis Lespere on the screen is respected, the role of Alex for the actor became the debut in the cinema. Well, no one expected anything else from the lovely Fanny Vallett, it is simply unrealistic not to fall in love with her heroine Flora. Stefan Robeli was going to remove the actress in another project, but then the circumstances were different. The director did not forget about Valett and consciously wrote the image of Flora under the actress.
