01/13/2016 Lackluster love triangle tragedy in which almost nothing works. Which will an attractive, upwardly bound weathergirl choose, the old writer jackass or the young spoiled jackass? When the girl is this airheaded and indescerning about jumping into bed, I didn't even care. The rivalry that supposedly already exists between the men is just as flimsy and ineffectual. Claude Chabrol has made some provocative examinations of relationships - obsessive jealousy in L'Enfer for example - but everything staged here is extremely limp. That includes insinuations of kinky sex with the old guy and maybe his friends, nothing is ever made clear but it's just another example of the director working far too timidly with this material. The overly obvious visual metaphor to end the film makes for an appropriate ham-fisted finale to this tripe. See more 06/05/2015 Really boring. Not the most boring ever (Lost in Translation is unsurpassed yet), but boring indeed. See more 01/18/2015 El estilo elegante de contar las historias de Claude Chabrol es un punto a favor de esta pelìcula que trata sobre los engaños, perversidades y doble moral de las personas , no està a la altura de sus grandes obras , pero se agradece una pellicula màs de su autor.

See more 01/29/2013 This French romance film pretends to be much more than it actually is. The story surrounds a girl played by Ludivine Sagnier, as she is chased by an elderly author and a narcissistic spoiled heir to a pharmaceutical company. All 3 of those central characters are hard to relate to, and the audience feels no connection to any of them. Then, an array of seemingly random events occur that don't particularly need to happen. Things just seem drab and dry and move on to the next scene of romance, making it no better, IMO, than the dreary Nicolas Sparks stuff that America throw out every year. And the saw scene at the end was an attempt to include allegory that made little sense and seemed incredibly forced. Not worth trying to find. See more Read all reviews
