Fairly faithful, redundant remake of the Danish feature film Queen Of Hearts, in which Anne [Léa Drucker], a lawyer specialized in juvenile law, starts an affair with Theo [Samuel Kircher], her husband's troubled teenage son [ Olivier Rabourdin]. Again, the motives for the affair are vague and the denouement is disappointing, but under Breillat's direction the story becomes vulgar, with overly ostentatious mutual flirting and a few unnecessary (and extremely long) sex scenes.

There is still a kind of cultural divide between France and the rest of the world - the same divide that once made French cinema something special, something mythical - but somewhat less prosaically also causes most of the real stuff to remain within the country's borders .
Sometimes something slips through, of course. Because the fact that this film is rubbish must be said without any reservation, apparently. Not only that the entire narrative is a dreary drama without any credibility - someone who works in juvenile justice and ends up in an inappropriate relationship in such a completely stupid way, you really have to go deep into the tabloids for that. But it is also presented quite poorly. Not for a moment does anything become clear about motives, morals or consciousness - as if the screenplay had been written by an adolescent as flawed as the character Theo.
There have been countless better attempts in the genre. And then this is also a remake of a Danish film with Trine Dyrholm in the role in which we see Lea Drucker. No chance - it really is a mystery to me how this got through the selection of the Festival de Cannes.

It is also not clear to me why the Danish film 'Queen Of Hearts' had to be given a French remake. Apparently for a commercial success and to keep Catherine Breillat at work. Yet it is not a bad film, because Breillat obviously knows how to make a film. But it is hardly surprising, predictable and unnecessary.
