beware of .... certain people

Vincent Mendel (Yvan Attal) is a photographer, who is blackmailed because of photographs, pornographic in nature. Also, an encounter with an old childhood friend, Joseph Plender (Clovis Cornillac), will change his life.

Wonderful performances by excellent French actors. A perfect casting.
The make-up is excellent. (Attal at the end of the movie is almost unrecognizable.)
The cinematography shines. The lighting is beautifully shot.
The director is simply awesome, and did a really great job.
The best thing about this film? It is honestly the script. It actually makes sense.
So, why 9/10?
It's a little too... American for my taste. The plus side for this French film (compared to an American one) is the intellectual aspect the characters display. The psychotic games presented give a great twist all the way through the movie, and keeps the viewer guessing at every turn. You think you figured it out? Think again!

Definitely one of the best French films I've ever seen, in the genre.


9/10
