Details: Product description Dicaprio/Hanks/Walken ~ Catch Me If You Can Amazon.ca In the vein of Talented Mr. Ripley and other very discreet Heroes, Catch Me If You Can is a film of imposture where the crooks are all more deceptive than they take on the appearance of the perfect son-in-law. As fresh and bubbly as a glass of champagne, this true-to-life drama also bears the hallmark of Hollywood star Steven Spielberg. Airline pilot, doctor, university professor, assistant district attorney: who is Frank Abagnale Jr. really? How does he lead this luxurious lifestyle? That's what FBI Inspector Carl Hanratty has sworn to find out. Voluntarily light, without the death of a man, Catch Me If You Can ventures into the register of refined crooks with a lot of sophistication. A perfect reconstruction of the 60s and 70s, with dapper and tangy sets and soundtrack, serves as a framework for an ironic and tasty balance of power between impostor (Leonardo DiCaprio) and policeman (Tom Hanks). The only weak points: Frank's relationship with his parents (Christopher Walken and Nathalie Baye), a tad moralizing, and the disappointing female roles. But by multiplying the winks, in particular to James Bond and Hitchcock, this intelligent and refreshing film remains charming, adopting for our greatest pleasure the form of a game that never takes itself seriously. --Helen Faradji
