Chore - Choreography by JC Maillot - Exceptional

This was an exceptional ballet at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.  Brilliantly choreographed.  Loved it all.  As usual with JC Maillot the colors are superb, the costumes exquisite.

During one part of the ballet a mirror was lowered above the stage over a canvas with stairs painted on it.  The cast when viewed via the mirror then appeared to be moving up and down the stairs - ok, it may have been done before, but I have never seen it - creative and some.

Do I recommend that you go and see it?  Ok yeah!!

Les - Gamins - Allez voir!

This is a funny film even if you don't understand a lot of French.  The storyline is pretty predictable although the handling of the whole is very watchable with only one section which went quite slowly (for me).

Outcome - wholly predictable - then  again you knew that didn't you?  It's a French RomCom, so you should know.  Go see, heartily recommend it to you!!

Actor wise they are strange bunch. One thing you do notice is that the teeth are good BUT they are not at all Hollywood quality. Makes it more real for me ...... Go see!
