To hell with all the conceptual embodiment of the film,beginning with the obscure first sequence one the man in the movies. I just like the force, madness, agonic sexuality, seductive ugliness of Lavant,the handy elegance of Scob. The sole sequence of the cemetery with la bete klauskinskian Lavant and la belle Eva Mendes,deserves my 3 star rating

Toby White

It is difficult to describe to someone what actually happens in this film. At times it reaches sublime heights, it has off-the-wall moments and it is sometimes ridiculous (talking limousines) but it is always unpredictable.
It is undoubtedly an incredibly ambitious and admirable piece of filmmaking, full of homages and references to notable classics. Above all, this film is intensely self-... read more

He is, in turn, captain of industry, assassin, beggar, monster, family man... He seems to be playing roles, plunging headlong into each part - but where are the cameras?

Movie Diary 2013 (162 movies items)

"26.4. Varsin hämäävä tapaus. Segmentit vaihtelevat hidastempoisista vuoropuheluista tajunnanräjäyttävän hyperaktiiviseen perseilyyn. Denis Lavant muuttuu muuttumistaan ja hallitsee vaikean pääosansa kukkien nuuhkimista myöten. En ehtinyt siis kovin pitkään potea nykyelokuvan mahdollisuuksiin uskomisen katoamista."

"April 23rd What the fuck is this bullshit? I watched about 20 minutes or so & was completely lost with no signs that there would ever be a coherent narrative or anything beyond crazy images to latch onto. And that's not what I want from a movie nor anything I admire at all. My mind simply couldn't take it & was so repulsed that I abandoned all attempts to watch any other movie on this night. And I definitely won't give this one another attempt. Fuck it. Currently streaming on Netflix (and actua"
