Switzerland+money=great movie !

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2007)

This movie is totally the type of movie that I usually don't watch. But this time I wanted to go and watch this movie because the director, Marc Forster, is Swiss like me. Last year I wanted to watch Stay but I finally couldn't. So, I wanted to see what Forster was able to do and it's a really good work !
I didn't know Will Ferrell and Maggie Gyllenhaal at all, but they are great actors ! I especially liked Maggie Gyllenhaal who is very moving. Dustin Hoffman is excellent as usual, as a literature professor and swimming teacher. Emma Thompson is a really good crazy novel author and her British accent makes a good contrast with the American accent of all the other characters.
So, it's possible to make a good movie without sex nor violence. A great plot is enough.
