A good movie

I already saw this movie, in fact, I’m pretty sure I saw it in the movie theater when it was released. Anyway, it was years ago and I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, basically, it is one of these rather obscure French movies that almost no one has seen here on listal. On top of that, Nicole Garcia is not really a major French director, even in France she is not regarded as a great director, but, somehow, I have managed to watch half of her directing efforts and I must admit that I have a weak spot for her work. Anyway, for her 3rd movie, she was working with Catherine Deneuve and the end-result was once again quite interesting. To be honest, I have to admit that I didn't remember much about the damned thing and, after rewatching it, it turned out that it wasn't an easy movie after all. I mean, I really liked the tone, the mood and most of the characters involved but the story was told in such a convoluted way. I mean, on one hand, it did make the whole thing probably more intriguing than if it would have been told in a more straightforward way. However, on the other hand, it was sometimes borderline incomprehensible and rather frustrating to watch. At least, it was very nice to have the great Catherine Deneuve to play the lead and she was really at the top of her game here. The rest of the cast was also really neat (Jean-Pierre Bacri, Jacques Dutronc, Emmanulle Seigner) even if I'm still not sure how some of these characters actually did fit into this story. Anyway, to conclude, I think I'm being slightly generous with my rating here but, I thought it was a decent feature and it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
