Helen works hard.
I adore Helen Mirren, but this film does her no favours at all. She does however seem toclick with Joe Pesci's character, but I suspect that is more to do with their acting ability as much as anything else. The plot is interesting but certain parts of it are not plausible, and detracts somewhat.

Love Ranch
I bought this simply because it is a Helen Mirren film and I wasn't disappointed! Not one of her big, famous roles, but still a good showcase for her talent.

une très belle histoire d'amour et un pied de nez à la morale puritaine américaine
On le savait déjà Taylor Hackford est un grand réalisateur peu prolifique mais dont les films font date.Love Ranch n'échappe pas à la règle. Et pourtant ce film reçu un accueil glacial aux USA et fût éreinté par la critique. On comprend facilement pourquoi. Non seulement, se basant sur une histoire vraie, il aborde le thème de l'amour entre une femme vieillissante (Grace), tenancière de maison close et un superbe jeune boxeur argentin (fort bien interprété par Sergio Peris Mencheta) mais s'attaque frontalement au puritanisme américain sur le plan de la sexualité (nous sommes dans les années 1970 dans un ranch proche de Reno dans la première maison close légale du Nevada et on s'aperçoit que les opposantes n'ont toujours pas changé en 2017. C'est le triomphe du Tea Party avec tout son lot d'obscurantisme et d'hypocrisie), à la corruption des policiers et des politiques et au racisme face à la communauté latino américaine.Aucun manichéisme dans ce film qui se déroule la plupart du temps dans les décors naturels apocalyptiques du Nevada à la nature sèche, désertique et hostile. Les images sont superbes et saisissantes.Quant à Helen Mirren (épouse du réalisateur) dans le rôle de Grace elle est tout bonnement exceptionnelle et bouleversante.Un superbe film qui ne peut pas laisser indifférent.

Due grandi attori per un film appena sufficiente
Edizione in lingua francese di un film che forse in Italia non verrà mai distribuito e che comunque vale la pena di vedere, se non altro per la solita interpretrazione superba di Helen Mirren, che con l'età sembra migliorare, sia come attrice che come donna. Un Joe Pesci all'altezza della situazione, ormai la sua interpratazione del mafioso è diventato un classico. Una storia che si dipana in una "casa di tolleranza" in un posto sperduto del Nevada, dove il proprietario, Joe Pesci, si preoccupava di tenere le pubbliche relazioni, con lo sceriffo assunto e pagato come protettore e quelle private invece con una ragazza del locale, che riceveva le sue attenzioni, mentre la sua compagna di vita, Helen Mirren, si occupava dei conti e del benessere delle ragazze del locale.Tutto procedeva più o meno tranquillamente, quando a Joe Pesci viene in mente di sponsorizzare un pugile argentino e di portarlo per allenarsi nel locale di sua proprietà, dando l'incarico di sorvegliarlo alla sua compagna.......
