It's a little like John Waters crossed with Eric Rohmer.

If you love it twisted, ironic, dark, and dysfuctional.

Perhaps the best way to sum it up: If John Waters were French. Great film!

Like a poor dumb comedy version of Pasolini's Teorema

Kooky, absurd and melodramatic, Ozon style. Can't believe it took me so long to see this.

Nearly flawless and disturbing dark comedy that ranks with the likes of Todd Solondz films. Reading the plot outline or knowing anything about the film before going in might ruin it. So do check this out, but be cautious, this is a film for adults only. It is quite graphic at times, and surprisingly goes places most films will never go.
