Le Confessionnal

LE CONFESSIONNAL (1995) - Nov. 11, 2010
About a man who returns home when his dad dies, and starts to help his messed-up adopted brother figure out who his real dad is -- there is also the story of the same family a generation ago, which ties in with the contemporary stuff.  Though this was a reasonably well made film (and some of the transitions between the two time periods were particularly inventive), I just did not find it interesting.  At all.  I was quite bored, in fact.  Though they tied in really well plot-wise, the two stories never really gelled from a narrative/pacing standpoint, and the whole thing just felt kind of clunky and poorly-paced.  *1/2
