Boîte noire

Well this is a good fictional take on the dubious shadow sides of international aviation industry, the aircraft builders, their subcontractors vs. The safety agencies around the world whos certificates new aircrafts and due to all the money involved the same agencies may not be so safe due to corrupt elements within the ranks. This film do have a load of realism connected to actual scenarios over the years, and displays how voulnerable you and i may be due to a flip of a coin dropped in the inner pocket of sinister culprits and eager ceo's. Its an intense aircraft accident investigation that goes deeper than normal, due to a nerdie, partly asperger autismic investigator that have a snout for sounds out of the normal spectre, he rings the alarm bell asap but has to ride the operation through the heavy waves of resistance from his superiors. Its a technically advanced flick, but plotted and acted in a cool way, a film made in the best of european/french filmaking. So if you want excessive exitement for the evening, do watch black box. A big recommend from the grumpy old man.

It is one of the best French movies I snd my family have watched. O completely recommend it! A lot of suspense! I hope they make a dvd or streaming with other languages subtitules. I watched it in a French Movie Festival.

Simple recipy: Spend one full hour (I'm serious) watching monitors screening the recordings of the Black box after crash.. Reach and enter to ruin the potential validity of all evdenceyou might find Blame the ugly business man who lied for greed.. Typical French leftist mind scenario. No twist, no surpries, a full week at the office behind your computer ,with no so handsome or charming actors/actresses. Sty away !

Well-made and structured film. Screenwriting, directing and editing work well. The pace of the investigation is well managed, especially in the first part. Unfortunately, everything is a bit long and this reduces the tension for the viewer. In any case, the result is good and would have been even better with a drier route.

If you are a fan of Polanski's "Ninth Gate" or "The Ghost writer", this film is totally for you. It's full of mystery, full of suspense, full of guilty secrets (but without losing it's realism!) and it has great doses of dark urban atmosphere. Six years after watching Gozlan's "Un homme ideal" (excellent movie also), it's the second time i fall in love with his work. He is one of the very few young directors who can understand how important is to do it the right way and without all these not convincing exaggerations we watch in films for the last decade. By the way, Pierre Niney was really good such as the most characters of the film. Thank you so much Mr Gozlan, i am now a fan.

The Idea of this Story, that BEA is not so indipendent as it should be, is promissing. The Movie is lame. An Elegy would have been an Uptempo-Song in comparisson. The plot is promising but the slug-like development of the story is tiresome. The Sex Scene was unnecessary, erotically and development of the story.

Interesting movie,well established plot, beautiful explanations, great acting. There's no distraction everything is right on to point. I don't understand French, watched with English subs.

The idea of airplane crush investigations through the sounds in the black box could appear as really boring, but in this film it was in a great form, that kept me excited, it's a good slow burner thriller. I liked Mathieu Vasseur character, he showed professional level of discipline, punctuality and a bit obsession, his remarkable abilities to analyse sounds and imagining events is decisive. The acting in my opinion was fine and convincing, intense storytelling, I kept guessing till the very end, but it wasn't that hard to feel that something was wrong, the plot twist wasn't super magnificent, but good enough to complete the film. In conclusion, if you're a fan of thriller, slow burner investigation movies, this one is for you.
