MAYA (Maya Hansen-Løve 201

One of the most anticipated and "name" films of the Rendez-Vous, it's eye candy thanks to the cinematographer Helène Louvart shooting on film and Super16, but a bit of a disappointment. I am made uneasy by war correspondents in fiction films and films made away from their director's home territory and in another language. Maya is all of those, and while interesting, isn't really one of her best. The lead actor, Roman Kobalka, is a bit too recessive. As many reviewers note, the English dialogue is often wooden - and sometimes incomprehensible.
