angst à la Frog
No Anglo-Saxon filmmaker would be able to get away with a work like this without being laughed out of the business; but the French can do it, somehow.
Here you have an obnoxious and contrary, utterly self-centred and unapologetically arrogant protagonist dealing with the sudden and unexpected diagnosis of a terminal cancerous tumour.
Some of the plot developments are too pseudy and downright sillly for words (like agreeing to father a child with a motorway-café waitress whose husband is sterile), and it verges on being an American-indie-style melodrama: plinkety-plonkety pedalled-piano chords, a bit of French baroque sacred music to contrast with a squalid gay dungeon, that sort of thing. But when it works, it works very well indeed and it is, on the whole, a moving and interesting film. -
