  disappointed me mightily the other night. Reasonably well-acted, I felt the plot and development weak. It's hard to beat Huppert and Tronc but there just wasn't much there for them to work with.

    Maybe you were not in the mood, but it ain't a bad film... has depth.

    There was a collective unease in the audience when the lights came up -- embarassed chuckling and muttering under breath. Chabrol tried and failed huge with this one. One's time is much better spent seeing La Cérémonie again.

    • Le Ceremonie was more straighforward, with much less finesse - Victor Khomenko 15:11:49 05/01/04 (0)

      In fact, except for a few moments (that chewing gum under the counter) it was plain kaka. Predictable and boooooooring......

    The Piano Teacher. A little better, but still pretty rough. I still love Huppert though.

      Pointless and boring in the near-extreme.

      Sounds like we all have different tastes in French movies here.
