What's the point of this movie?
I thought I was going to see a serious French intimate film, but no, I'm going to see a poorly played TV movie without explanation. Bored to the point. It seems a lie that with the duo protagonist may well, but so it is.
I do not like the picture at all. French cinema does not usually seek anything technically but this movie is too much. The director neither directs actors nor camera nor tone nor anything.
I did not like it at all.
Spoiler: I do not know when a character is shown, Isabelle, who is looking to mess with anyone. It gives the impression that it would lie down with all France. Either I have not heard or been introduced to an intelligent woman who lives in the countryside and likes to feel that she can seduce someone. But from there to that anybody's worth, I do not know.
Worst of all is that according to the movie, whatever, whatever, we all deceive and forgive ourselves, or we simply do not follow. And all this without the slightest feeling.
