Don't Trust a Movie By Its Cover...
If the distributors thought that this cover would somehow get people to pick up their title, I think they were a little mistaken. What I do hope however is that through word of mouth this title becomes a little cult classic. Debating the idea of sexuality and the effect it can have on oneself and others, Les Choses Secretes may seem like a film that was made simply to arouse, but it is much more. For one it is intelligent. The two actresses at its head seem to have understood that to make this film honestly and truthfully they need to go to extremes rarely seen on screen. As mentioned by others this is a fun and clever film which is refreshing and entertaining. Whatsmore is that the nudity isn't gratuious (as it could have so easily been). Fans of offbeat intelligent foreign titles, this is for you - forget the cover, the film is MUCH better!

tasteful erotica
I totally agree with another reviewer that the film loses its way after a promising start. Both female leads put in commanding performances, and the film explores the power of sexuality in an original and intelligent way. However once Christophe becomes a central character the plot descends into the absurd. The explanation for his sexual deviancy is extremely unconvincing, and the film's denouement is both bizarre and disjointed. The film initially concentrates on the power of female sexuality, and yet by the end the sexual predator has become a desperate and pathetic wench - a completely unconvincing role reversal.Overall though a beautiful piece of cinematography and a film I would recommend to anyone who isn't offended by nudity.
