tfmj-1 There is a strange mix in Vivace that doesn't work well. First we have some nice, very french comedy elements at the beginning with a couple, we seem to like. And what's not to like about them? Then there is someone watching the new neighbors. Just ten minutes later we already know who he is and wonder what this is all about? Finally we have a mysterious Brazilian plant, that grows and dies and grows again, literally taking the breath of the nearby sleeping Pauline, who gets so affected by this strange crop the couple nearly breaks because of it. And last we even have death, sorrow and murder! All that because of a jealous garden loving neighbor...? Comedy, relationship, a tiny little bit of thriller and crime. Vivace is really a strange film, and I don't mean this positively, that could have been much better if the makers would have had a line to follow from the start.
