This film by Nicolas Bedos about a bunch of crooks has a heavy cast. Despite the chic settings, this cannot be seen in the film, especially since some stars (Adjani, Cluzet) fail completely. The only one who breathes life into the shaky story is Marine Vacth. So a real disappointment.

Adrien [Pierre Niney] is the gigolo of middle-aged actor Martha Duval [Isabelle Adjani] who falls hopelessly for prostitute and con man Margot [Marine Vacth], who draws him into a stupid scheme to kill both Martha and the sympathetic Simon [François Cluzet] to rob them of their fortune. Jumps from one subject to another and navigates between melodrama and parody without a chance. There is also a frame story surrounding a trial against François, who allegedly shot Margot, which further increases the confusion. Lots of sex without sensuality and lots of pretty pictures for the benefit of the local tourist industry (which co-financed this monstrosity). Saillard exudes 0.0 charisma and Adjani and Vacth seem to have no idea what Bedos wants to achieve exactly. Cluzet and Emmanuelle Devos (as a maid) have come off relatively mercifully in the bad (attempt) at Film Noir (or a parody of it) since my personal memory.

In the Netherlands we have it in our heads that a Dutch film is mainly characterized by flat poop and pee jokes, and an excess of nudity. In France it is subtly different, there people mainly complain about unnatural dialogues of fake characters, spoken like a Frenchman/woman does when she feels she has something very interesting and important to say. Theatrical in the superlative, so to speak. About what we experience when you ask someone in France for directions or what time it is.

The beginning of the film sets the tone with a number of those French clichés. Toe-curlingly bad, and the fact that Adjani and Cluzot are the main culprits is all the sadder. Or could it have been deliberately put on like that, just to throw the (mainly French) viewer off course? Because it is worth thinking about how beautiful the contrast is with Vacth, who does not suffer from that kind of star airs. He does have ordinary airs, in fact, the kind of la merde! that made Bardot famous and infamous. Poor girl, with her past and her little daughter. The way she seduces Cluzot with her librarian glasses while the plot is getting thicker.

If there is anything wrong with the film, it is the current fashion for mindfuck. As I have said before, enjoy, but fuck in moderation.
