[Highly rated reviewer]
If only the filmmaker had noticed his trial audience's eyes glazing over, we might have been spared this affected, tiresome tosh.
'The knot in my stomach's getting bigger.'
'You're lovesick - it's as old as the world.'
Man f**cks his (female) boss. She becomes pregnant.
Man gets f**cked by his last girlfriend's manic-depressive young brother.
Man becomes obsessed with an intellectually-challenged but cute murderer he's defending, to the point where he becomes involved with the prisoner's hairdresser girlfriend.
Viewer keels over with inexpressible but overpowering boredom.
Some types of dialogue and filmmaking simply don't translate well across cultural borders, and this is a particularly egregious example. If there really are French people who behave like this bunch of improbable prats, they should be put down ASAP.
As should this film.
Actually, I shouldn't be expressing my views since I couldn't get beyond 45 minutes. But, believe me, that required a heroic effort. -
