Talk:Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris (film)

GA suggestion
The article is lacking a plot section, meaning that at present, it is likely to fail due to lack of breadth. For a good example of how to write a good plot summary, see Mulholland Drive (film). Nikki 311  05:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I expanded the plot -- no mean feat, as it is a plotless film! Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 04:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Start class
IMHO the article is still missing a few things
 * An image of the film poster, not just of the subject of the film.
 * Fill out some infobox details
 * A more complete cast section - is it just the three of them?
 * Perchance screenshots from the film indicating the actors
 * Any information on the production history?
 * Any box office information?
 * Any awards?

Just a few things that could 'flesh out' the article a bit. SkierRMH ( talk ) 18:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

To answer your questions:

An image of the film poster, not just of the subject of the film. -- Other Jacques Brel-related articles have this image. If anything, there is consistency. I am unable to clear the rights to poster art or screen shots at this time.

A more complete cast section - is it just the three of them? -- The film has three main stars, plus Brel's guest appearance. There are no other notable actors -- just a lot of extras.

Any information on the production history? -- I have been unable to locate any "making-of" stories.

Any box office information? -- I have yet to find any. It was part of the subscription-driven American Film Theatre, so that sort of makes the box office screwy (people paid in advance to see a slate of films, not just an individual flick).

Any awards? -- None whatsoever. I like the movie, but that doesn't count. :)

GAN, Take Two
I resubmitted the article for GAN consideration, in view of the edits made to it (as per the input of the first GAN process). Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 11:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * It is only going to be quick failed, again. The article is not GAN ready at all. It fails all of the GA criteria still. As mentioned in my review already, it needs to be REFERENCED and you should take it through a peer review before trying again. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 14:34, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Gee, what would Brel do in a situation like this? :) Ecoleetage (talk) 20:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
