Second big screen outing for Rowan Atkinson's one man disaster zone Mr Bean who, this time around, wins a trip in a local raffle to Cannes, with the film then following his travels across France (where he mistakenly seperates a kid from his father and gets mistaken for a kidnapper) and the various disasters he causes while doing so, until he finally reaches his destination just as the Cannes film festival is happening.

Complex Characters
Really Good Remake
I like the creative license taken by this remake. The new songs were good, and the costumes and sets made it feel more like France. However, the accents were all over the place, and some of Belle's backstory felt weak. But the characters were so complex and dynamic! Gaston and Le Fou became much more interesting and finally felt like real people.
Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Djangology by Django Reinhardt in Music

One of the best jazz guitarists in history
One of the most important guitarists in music history, Django Reinhardt revolutionised the jazz scene through his hot jazz band and gypsy jazz in 1920s France. He's even more remarkable for the fact that he lost the use of two fingers during a fire. His music is warm, like being wrapped in honey, and it's a treat for the ears. As a classical guitarist his music has inspired my life immensely.
