a5c7b9f00b As the daring thief Arsène Lupin (Duris) ransacks the homes of wealthy Parisians, the police, with a secret weapon in their arsenal, attempt to ferret him out.
Might contain some spoilers.<br/><br/>In this vehicle from 2004, we get after the movie Vidocq, we get the next hero from the old days. Arsene Lupin the French counterpart of the English gentleman thief Raffles, while Raffles adventures are limited Arsene had a long list of books they could film.<br/><br/>This movie however took the road of an epic movie, it cuts through the life of Arsene to highlight one of his great adventures and thereby leaving out the portion what made the man so charming namely his gentleman thiefery adventures. Yes we get a little peak of a few episodes but mostly AL is busy not stealing in the most genial ways but having a grand adventure. Is the movie therefor less entertaining, no it is not as epic adventure stories go it is a nice and fun movie that uses this classic hero in a positive way. It fails to deliver the gentleman thief however, which is one of the reasons why I like the character.<br/><br/>However the main character monsieur Lupin does strike me as a Vincent Cassel light, he does his job well enough but he's for me not powerful enough. Kristin Scott Thomas is besides a gorgeous woman also a devil in this movie, she gives the movie it's strength (bond villains have a look here how it's done). her part also gives the movie that fantasy aspect that does sit rather well in this story. Eva Green is a vision of loveliness so when the inevitable moment comes you really care.<br/><br/>The movie moves in a decent enough pace, gives us a great and luscious view of old France with some great set pieces like Paris. Greatly filmed and delivers a nice enough epic movie that could have used a little less epic.<br/><br/>I hope that the next movie is a we bit scaled down in size and centers more upon the character Lupin as a master Thief.<br/><br/>And I am now actually looking forward to that moment that is bound to come when the French cinema has a new shot at Fantomas (French greatest villain ever). I feel that the popularity movies as Vidocq & Arsene Lupin will undoubtedly make way for this title.<br/><br/>Perhaps it is time for the UK to dust of their epic hero's like Allan Quartermain (with a preferable SC) or Raffles.<br/><br/>If you like any of the last suggestions make your nose tingle it is a sure sign you most probable going to enjoy Arsene Lupin. Enjoy, I did.
Sort of a biopic-mystery based on France's most iconic literary criminal, the 2004 'Lupin' charts the gentleman thief's life from childhood to a youth of crime, where he (Romain Durais) becomes entangled in the machinations of a mysterious Countess (Kristin Scott Thomas), and a hunt for a rare treasure that spans years, in which time, he becomes romantically involved with an old childhood flame (Eva Green).<br/><br/>Jean Paul Salome's adaptation can certainly be admired for its ambition, being an amply budgeted French action-adventure film, but ultimately suffers from an indecisive script that wants to be the Jack-Of-All-Trades/definitive Lupin film. It goes from simple popcorn treasure hunt fun, to a family drama to a romance to some kind of alternate history biopic, with the last 20 minutes feeling especially really rushed, and showing a lack of faith for the possibility of a sequel and future tales in the titular thief's life. It's as if they spent all this money and were so afraid the film would fail that they just squeezed everything that they could in from the various novels by Maurice LeBlanc to cover every facet of Lupin's adventures.<br/><br/>Despite this though, and barring the final 20 minutes, the film still manages to be an enjoyable romp that is technical proficient. We even have some well shot action and good effects, such as a rather impressive bombing in a Parisian restaurant. On the acting front, Durais makes for a capable and energetic Lupin, and distinguished English actress Scott Thomas has a ball as the scene stealing villain/lover of Lupin. And hey, we even have a younger Eva Green here, so that's a nice bonus. And the icing on the cake is the majestic score by Debbie Wiseman. Dear Lord, this may be one of my favourite scores from 2004: it's stylish, sexy, mysterious and often very exciting, very befitting a film about a master criminal.<br/><br/>In the end, this 'Lupin' may not quite get away with it, but enough strong elements overcome a cumbersome screenplay to make this a heist worth at least one try for those who want to see a more fun side of European cinema.
