      Audience Member Disarming mix of comedy, espionage and sex. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Film completement loufoque, tres decousu mais souvent charmant. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Savoureux et un chouia pervers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Great premise: what if almost an entire opera class actually consisted of various spies all after secrets from an actual vocal student? And also, everyone is sleeping with everyone else. Deadpan absurdity ensues. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Je veux bien admettre que les films d'espionnage, meme ceux realises sous l'angle comique, aient parfois besoin d'un coup de lustre mais tout de meme, l'idee d'un cours de chant lyrique... De toute facon, cette histoire d'espions et de terroristes ne sert que de decorum a une comedie de moeurs comme il en abonde dans le cinema francais. Ca chante de l'operette ou de la variete, ca tergiverse, ca philosophe sur les relations humaines et ca fornique un peu partout. Pas forcement dans cet ordre la, d'ailleurs. Quelques citations sont assez plaisamment cinglantes et spirituelles mais dans l'ensemble, j'ai un peu de mal a percuter les tenants et les aboutissants de cette realisation dont l'originalite n'est qu'une maniere detournee de signifier "sans queue ni tete". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A very entertaining and enjoyable film. I recalled "Wong Jing" when watching some of the scenes. Don't take so serious on what the message has delivered to you, just watch and laugh and it's good enough. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ryan Cracknell Movie Views At times serious, others farcical, it's a film that ignores expectations and creates an experience that's like a helium balloon. It slowly lets itself out before finally settling. Dec 8, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews
