It is most likely the most secret film project in the history of French cinema: Angel-A. Luc Besson, who hasn't directed a movie since 1999's critically savaged The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, has been working on this return under a complete media blackout for months. Though a few details had leaked out - it's in black and white and, according to the film's star, is a "romantic comedy" - until the release of the trailer, no one really knew anything about the movie. But honestly, that is really not that important. Even if you don't understand French, the film is visually magnificent. Every shot has been composed with incredible care, and you can actually feel how elated Besson is to be back behind the camera. Unfortunately for Besson's fans, Angel-A, starring Jamel Debbouze and Rie Rasmussen, has been released in France and Belgium with no news of any other distribution...yet...
