That' s precisely the kind of gem that you can find on Amazon Prime once in a while, if you spend enough time to dig among straight to DVD grade Z craps,and other big scale movies which any movie buff has seen dozens of times before. The kind of films I am talking about are most indie features, not for all audiences, pop corn audiences whom I despise so much. Yes, thanks to Amazon Prime, I can discover movies like this one, the tale of.a man whom we see at different stages of his life: child, teen and grown up. Hard to follow at first sight, or seemingly too simple. Very complex to summarize. Well, a kind of French TAXI DRIVER, if you consider the basic scheme. The absorbing study of transformation, mutation of a man. It is very subtle, you have to watch very closely, It focuses on the impact of the modern society on human behavior. It is not an action flick, but a story that may justify a from of facism, as DEATH WISH did forty seven years ago.
Plot summary
A fall into fascism. The Phoenix follows the steps of Paul, from a childhood in the country close to his brother, to his adult years in Paris, when urban violence and anger turn his mind to rage. This 93 minuts fully independant feature film has been made by a crew of 5 people, with 35 actors, all motivated by their passion for cinema.
