Do you like this movie with Anne Parillaud , the wife of JMJ ? For me , it's a very graet french film , a big succes , not only in France . Have you got seen this movie in your country ???

No.

I only know Nikita, the song by Elton John

" Nikita " is a movie by Luc Besson ( The big blue , Léon , The 5th element ..... )
and the music is by Eric Serra .

That movie is a true classic!!! Love it!!! And the music is looovely!!

GeeJee: ???? You haven´t seen it? Shame on you!!!

I haven't either

Nikita is one of my favourite films. Nikita (played by Anne Parillaud, for those who don't know ) comes across at the beginning of the film a cold blooded killer due to being addicted to drugs (heroin) and I didn’t like her much but as the film goes on I actually started to become very fond of her. She becomes an assassin for her government and you see a side of her that is all too emotional especially with her boyfriend. I genuine luv this film from beginning to end. The end is very sad and I did cry some. Anne’s acting abilities were first-rate and she played her character truly and very convincingly. I have watched this film a number of times that I have lost count, it’s that good.

Eric Serra soundtrack to the film is excellent. My favourite from the soundtrack is The Dark Side Of Time.

Anne won a César Award for Nikita and the film picked other Awards.

from the film:

Both the movie and the TV series are things I've planned to watch for like 5 years now

You know, those american people did a "cover" of this movie called "Point of no return" back in the 90´s also! I think it had Bridged Fonda in the lead role!

That was also a great rework of the original! Both movies are great!! Go see them!!

Ah, back in the days when Luc Besson made GOOD movies.

I know that song too! But I know the movie "Nikita" also, but unfurtunely I haven't seen it yet!

Trivia: the Nikita in the movie was called after the song.

You said it...but have you seen Angel A?

Flawed but beautiful and shot in gorgeous black & white...

True. I think you are drawing conclusions too fast Ramesh. JMJ never had a proper opportunity to work on a soundtrack. In fact I'm sure he'd be perfectly able to make a proper score.

I missed it at the cinemas I really wanted to see it, it's been years since he made a film (after The Messenger and now Arthur & the Minimoys).

And his other B&W movie, Le Dernier Combat, is still brilliant.

and don´t forget 9 and 1/2 weeks with Mickey and Basinger - there is Arpegiator track..
