I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, eventually, even if it was nothing really groundbreaking, I thought it was still a pretty good thriller. Above all, it strongly reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock’s work because it was so stylish with a very nice mood and also because the main character was one of those typical blond ice queens that Hitchcock used so much in his own movies. This movie also reminded me of 'Teorema', a movie directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini during which Terence Stamp came along and made a whole familly go crazy for him. However, to be honest, even though the story was really entertaining, it was unfortunately nothing really original and I thought it was actually predictable but it was very well directed and acted and the whole thing was still quite spellbinding to watch. Anyway, to conclude, even if I don’t think it was really a masterpiece, it was still a really solid thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre or if you are interested in French movies.

interesting but slow
Posted : 15 years, 11 months ago on 1 June 2008 06:10A 10 year old piano student shows promising talent and enters a contest, but doesn't win. Several years later, she meets the lady (Catherine Frot) that made her lose. She gets her revenge by becoming her page turner.
Interesting plot. Decent acting. A little slow, too slow at times.
The psychology of the girl isn't explored as much as it could have.
Still not a bad movie. Just don't watch it if you expect a lot of action; there isn't much.
