Before the devil knows you're dead Avant que le diable ne le sache

Sidney Lumet?s Before the Devil Knows You?re Dead is an exceptionally dark story about a crime gone wrong and the complicated reasons behind it. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke are outstanding as brothers whose mutual love-hate relationship subtly colors their agreement to rob their own parents? jewelry store, and more explicitly affects the anxious aftermath of their villainy when their mother (Rosemary Harris) ends up shot. Hoffman?s steely, emotionally locked-up Andy, despite pulling down six figures as a corporate executive, is supporting an expensive drug habit while trying to leave the country with his depressed wife, Gina (Marisa Tomei). Hank (Hawke), a whipped dog of low intelligence, owes back alimony and child support to his ex-spouse. Both men need money and agree to rip off their parents' business, a decision that goes awry and puts both men in various kinds of jeopardy while their mother remains comatose and their father (Albert Finney) lurches along trying to make sense of anything. Writer Kelly Masterson's screenplay employs a perhaps now-overly-familiar time-shifting tactic, jumping around the chronology of the story's events and replaying scenes from different vantage points. The effect is a little tedious but successfully deconstructs the film's drama in a way that shows how such terrible events are directly linked to family dysfunction, old wounds between parent and child, between siblings, that fester into full-blown tragedy.

Alors que Charlie, le père, passe un test de conduite, sa femme Nanette ouvre la bijouterie familiale. Leur fils aîné, Andy, s'inquiète pour le contrôle fiscal qui débute lundi.

  • ""Master filmmaker Sidney Lumet directs this absorbing suspense thriller about a family facing the worst enemy of all - itself. Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as Andy and Ethan Hawke as Hank, two brothers in dire financial trouble. Andy, an overextended broker, lures Hank into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban jewellery store, which should be an easy target. The problem is that the store owners are Andy and Hank's actual mum and pop and, when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage lands right at their doorstep. Oscar winner Marisa Tomei stars as Andy's trophy wife, who is having a clandestine affair with Hank and then there's Andy's secret drug habit, which sends him over the edge when faced with the desperate situation in which he finds himself. The much-admired Albert Finney, in his final film, stars as the family patriarch who pursues justice at all costs, completely unaware that the culprits he is hunting are his own sons." -- Showcase website."
