Title: Confusion Fits the Film Perfectly
Review: I can understand the mix of reviews for this film. It could have easily been titled "Confused People". It's rather dark and ugly story, and if you like to connect with at least one character, you'll be hard-pressed to do it in the movie. If anyone, I felt sorry for Christophe, the young man who would have done anything for Alain, except Alain was incapable of commitment and coming to terms with his sexuality. While the story line is a common theme, I found the film at times slow and disconnected. Although I cared less for most of the characters, the acting itself was good. Nothing outstanding from the standpoint of cinematography. I see it's listed as a "romantic satire" - don't be fooled. What I recall most from the film is how a series of people with apparent low self-worth chase about the confused and disrespecting Alain. if this theme catches your fancy for 90 minutes, have at it. It's twisted, dark, and definitely focused on confused people.
Is the review positive or negative?
