This is arguably the best performance to date from Monty Clift look-alike Laurent Lucas or maybe it's the classiest movie he's been in so far. Even Charlotte Gainsbourg who I've always been able to take or leave (sorry, Yvan) as I have her old mum, Jane Birkin, turns in something at least resembling a performance here which is more than can be said for the ridiculously overrated Charlotte Rampling, who can't retire quick enough for me. Dom Moll is rapidly becoming a player but the downside here is that he's not fully in control of his material and seems to be trying to marry several genres - the comedy of manners, the satire, the suspense movie, the supernatural etc - so that the whole fails to fully satisfy as much as it might have. Andre Dussollier is the class act here and he doesn't disappoint; on balance it's certainly one to check out but not necessarily revisit and/or buy on DVD.
