A good movie

It is not really a famous French movie but since I have a weak spot for the actors involved, I still wanted to check it out. When looking back at this feature, the most striking thing is that, many years later, both main actors tragically died. They were also both children of some of the most famous French actors, Guillaume Depardieu was the son of Gérard Depardieu and Marie Trintignant was the daughter of Jean-Louis Trintignant. The first one to die was Trintignant, only 5 years after making this movie. Back then, she was shooting a movie in Lithuania and, in the evening, she had an argument with her boyfriend, French rockstar Bertrand Cantat (lead singer of the band Noir Désir) and he literally beat her to death. Concerning Guillaume Depardieu, 5 years later after Marie Trintignant, while he was shooting a movie in Romania he contracted pneumonia and died within a couple of days. It is as if this movie was some kind of French version of ‘The Misfits’. But what about the movie itself ? It was the 3rd movie director Pierre Salvadori made with Depardieu Jr. and even if it might not be the best they made together, it was still pretty good. Indeed, it is a rather light and fluffy story about mythomania and I thought it was pretty enjoyable, even if it was nothing really amazing whatsoever. To conclude, Salvadori and Depardieu made only good movies together, this one was not an exception and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
