Title: No sense of design
Product review: With such a cast, all that was needed was a few good plot twists. But no. Neither the writers (Eric and Margaret Leclere) nor the director (Chris Menges) has the faintest idea of how to create convincing tensions and conflicts. The scenes between M. Auteuil and Mlles Kinski and Denicourt all fall flat: they clearly have no idea of what's going on, and neither do we. The disappearance of a son leads to kiddie prostitution and snuff, but what does this have to do with a junkie from a good family? I couldn't watch the whole thing.
