Now I'm one that understands fairly plotless, shallow scripted films, aimed at simply being realistic- but if The Last Woman (which is INFINTELY better than this) gets a 6.4 then this deserves a 3 tops! To pull off this type of films takes an exceptionally atmospheric actor like Depardieu, so when he's not in this type of film well then it becomes....totally duff. I don't even rate Huppert. In fact, is she good in anything except The Piano Teacher??
Most of the time we've absolutely zero idea where it's heading, the dubbing is awful making it feel even more plastic, and either the script itself or the translation is woeful! I mean I couldn't even tell if The Last Woman was dubbed or not tbh, but this blatantly is. I've never understood why films are dubbed in the same language they're acted in...because they couldn't be assed with microphones? Huge mistake.
The film is meant to be about incest yet all we get is pathetic pecks on the lips, lol. Not a patch on the Depardieu stuff.
As each scene moves to the next, you haven't the faintest clue what anyone's talking about. And Huppert looks like Natalie from Eastenders.
It doesn't feel like this and some of Ferreri's other work is remotely the same writer.
