Watch: Comme une image 2004 123movies, Full Movie Online – Lolita, plump, in her 20s, desperately wants her father’s attention. He’s egotistical, a famous writer and publisher with an attractive wife little older than Lolita. She’s in a choir, rehearsing for a concert; she’s given her father a tape, which he’s yet to listen to. Sylvia, a voice coach, is willing to help the group, knowing she’ll have a chance to get her husband’s new novel in front of Lolita’s father. For Lolita, this is a pattern: people pay attention to her to gain access to him, something she fears is the intent of Sébastien, a struggling journalist who may become her boyfriend. The night of the concert, the music may bring out everyone’s feelings..
Plot: This is the story of human beings who know exactly what they’d do if they were somebody else, but can’t handle being themselves very well, who are very simply struggling to find out who they are.

Bitter taste of others’ success
You can figure how difficult it is to bear the name of Lolita and the body of a ‘not so good looking girl’. It’s even harder when you can’t expect support neither from your famous and egocentric publisher-writer-father neither from the people who know your father is that ‘successful guy with books.’ Whatever the circumstances, work from the heart is not bird in the hand. Thus you need people to understand you… or simply to shut up. Is that too demanding?‘Comme une image’ is lovely crafted as was the Taste of others yet slightly inferior for the central story (the central character and most of the others) plays on a passive mode. Things happen and there’s no outcome, no pay-off I should say… not that it’s carefully anti-climactic but as a turnkey character Lolita is definitely a wrong pick.
The part of Lolita is touching at best, but it’s a thin line between deeply touching and simply pathetic. She’s the poor little girl of her successful dad and she complains most of the time (and when she doesn’t complain you’re supposed to feel sympathy). In the Taste of others Bacri was not weeping (or begging for sympathy), he was gaining a new vision over his life, and the others were pretending to gain it too. For what it takes in ‘Comme une image’ to cast a compassionate look at others Bacri and Jaoui got the best parts – those smoothly cornering the movie to its end.
