An unknown jewel

It is once again a rather obscure French movie which not much people have seen here in Listal (I was one of the first users who have rated this movie and, right now, only 13 users have rated it so far). I remember it very well, I think I even saw it in France in the movie theater when it was released. Basically, it is a rather weird but really interesting movie about a rich guy who hire a younger man to be his taster... It does sound a little bit crazy and it was indeed but I thought it was a very good movie with Bernard Giraudeau who provided a solid performance. Eventually, the whole thing about the taster it is just an excuse to give us some really compelling characters. It is also interesting to point out that this movie was directed by Bernard Rapp who used to be in France a TV personality in the 80’s but, in the 90’s, he decided to become a movie director and this movie was probably his best directing effort. To conclude, even though it is a rather obscure flick, I really liked it a lot and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
