A very good movie

Basically, it is another really obscure French movies that almost no one has seen on Listal. I don’t know if anyone made this comparison before but this movie actually reminded me of ‘Teorema’, one of the most fascinating movies I have ever seen. Indeed, both movies deal with an average middle-class family slightly bored with their lifes and, suddenly, an attractive stranger comes along, have some casual sex with everyone, pretty much shattering this family. In this case, this movie was definitely more down to earth and straightforward than Pasolini’s feature but this concept somehow remains really spellbinding to me. Indeed, I do believe that we are all sexual beings but, in fact, hardly any of us really explore this very deeply and, as a result, we are all pretty much frustrated. The success of this movie also had to do with the cast (Miou-Miou, Charles Berling, Stanislas Merhar) which was just pitch-perfect. Concerning the director, Anne Fontaine became in the following 20 years  apparently one of the most interesting French directors at work and it just too bad that I haven’t managed to watch more of her movies. To conclude, I thought it was a fascinating feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
