An average movie

Once again, it is another really obscure French feature that almost no one here on listal has seen and, to be honest, I actually wonder how I actually ended up watching the damned thing. If I recall it correctly, I even saw it in the movie theater when it was released and I think I saw it because the reviews were really good at the time. Well, the whole thing turned out to be a huge disappointment. Indeed, even though I pretty much understood that they wanted to go for a realistic approach, showing the hard and supposedly pure countryside way of life. However, the end result was just really dreary and, above all, so boring to watch. Seriously, I never cared for the characters and what they were going through and, in my opinion, it is a perfect example of how such cheap art house feature aiming to be deep and truthful can actually turn out be dreadfully tedious and pretentious. Even the realistic and almost documentary directing style couldn’t save this movie for me. To conclude, I thought it was one of the most underwhelming movies I saw at the time and I seriously don’t think it is worth a look.
