An average movie

A while back, I came across this really obscure flick called 'Eye of the beholder' starring Ewan McGregor and Ashley Judd. To be honest, it was not really good as it was a rather weird and really unfocused thriller but there was definitely something fascinating about it. Later on, I found it out it was actually a remake of a French movie so I was really eager to check the original version. This flick was directed by Claude Miller who's not really famous abroad but he is definitely one of my favorite French directors. This time, the leads were played by Isabelle Adjani, who was probably at the height of her career and was quite spellbinding to watch, and Michel Serrault who was as usual pretty good, even though I preferred Ewan McGregor in this part. Pretty much like the remake, it is a rather weird thriller and during the whole thing you are never really sure what the hell is going on which makes the movie quite fascinating but also a little bit annoying at the same time. Personally, I tend to prefer a little bit the remake but it is a close call. To conclude, even though the whole thing is rather flawed, it remains an intriguing thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
