We have seen that many have taken the character of the Jamesesheims Bond over the years, but they have been mostly different variations in his early days. One thing we haven't really seen is the story of the Elder Bond starring Oktogenaria Superview that looks back in a decade -long career and may withdraw for a last mission. If Amazon won't let Pierce Brosnan doThen at least we have a French duo Helen Katt and Bruno Forzani ("Let the Thin Tan") deliver the film "Elder Bond" we have always wanted, and inflicting it with enough influences from Galiao and Anime to make their latest film, "Reflection in Diary".

This Belgian spy thriller follows Johnon Diman (Fabio Testi), a former spy who spends retirement at a luxury hotel in the French Riviera, drinking by the beach and seeing his new handsome young neighbor. Astonishing the early signs of dementia, the sudden disappearance of his neighbor sends Johnon Down Memorial Lane with pictures of his days as a spy in the 1960s (then played by Janik Rainier) flooding his mind. In particular, a mission involving the oil billionaire, nuclear energy and the killer dressed in a catsuit named Serpentic, who has more identities than an impossible missions agent (she is played by more actors).

But this is more than just a story of a spy told in two timelines, because Kate and Forzani inspire not only by Ian Fleming's relationship and "Diabolik", but also anime legend Satoshi. Specifically, the "Diamond Diamond" inspires her by a masterpiece of the "Millennium Actress" (An essential watch) and "Stereoscopic Writing" of CON, which has a fragmented narrative structure that needs to be experienced several times so that you can capture the different layers of the story. Through this approach, the script is played with the idea of ​​whether Johnon actually worked as a spy - or just played.

As the "Millennium Actress", "Reflection in Dead Diamond" is played with memory subjectivity, mixing reality and fiction. Did Johnon really get involved in a mission with More reveals a mask than "Mission: Impossible 2?" - Or was it a movie set? It's hard to say on stage by stage, and even when the film falls some great discoveries to the end, don't worry about giving a clear answer.

That ambiguity, in combination with the melancholic tone of the aging legend, looking at their career, reminiscent of the "Millennium Actress" of and how reality and fiction interfered, while only making a wonderful respect for the history of the cinema. Here, we get scenes that suggest a real spy story and also shoot a feature film that further mixes Johnon's credibility as a narrator, but also serve as simple knots in the history of spy thrillers. (There is literally scene with film directors.)

The "Diamond Diamond Reflection" works beautifully on the level of a spy film, the one with an excellent retro aesthetic full of cool small gadgets and inventive technology. The use of mirror shots and divided dioperts gives the film look in the 1970s, while the picturesque use of color brings to Gialo's '70s. Of course, the amazing narrative can be a little too much for the general audience and the franchise with a big budget, like Bond, but the simple idea of ​​aging aging, looking at a key mission and thinking about the nature of his career is extremely fun and too good to pass. Why shouldn't Pierce Brosnan come back as a Bond, the last time he drinks drinks from the French Riviera, while slowly losing his mind during a time when he encountered a female Fatal with more people?
