Audience Member A darkly delicious comic mayhem...too bad Netflix don't have the HD version... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I have a soft spot for Beineix; not only is Betty Blue one of my all-time favourite movies, but I had the very rare pleasure of interviewing Beineix at the Toronto International Film Festival many, MANY years ago. In a random check on the IMDB to see if he'd done anything since IP5 & Rosalyn and the Lions, I saw a reference to this film and tracked it down. What a masterpiece. Not as good as Betty Blue (of course!) but a fanstastic Hitchcockian sexual thriller that delivers more of the goods than Kurbrick or Polanski have done with Eyes Wide Shut and Bitter Moon (respectively). The lasting impression I have of Beineix was of an intelligent, erudite and gentle man with a devlish sense of humour. And in this film, those same charms come across quite vividly. Excellent film, at once suspenseful, complex and at times, very very funny. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It was good to watch again that not-very-realistic movie in the tradition of Brian de Palma's Body Double and Snakes Eyes; full of beautiful camera moves, amazing colours and beautiful bodies! It deserves more than what the critics said about it... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a good idea to make a film noir based on Freudian psychoanalysis. Additionally, it has a very good sense of humor. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member The seriousness with which this film takes Freudian psychiatry seems out of place at this late date, and the verisimilitude in Michel's transport of the body of Olga seems a little lacking, too. At least the Eiffel Tower lit up for the Millennium is pretty. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
