From: Rémi Category: Films Date: 29 November 2008 Time: 09:18 PM Review: A long film that I almost managed to watch on one lying. On my bed. Story had a twist in it. Young man in French countryside starts growing up with his mother, then moves to live with his father who is a grand industrialist. Young man runs away to Paris where he works as a model and falls in love with Juliette Binoche. All good film. I love these French arty films. They take long sequences to explain simple ideas. I'm not sure if that makes them any deeper. In the end the young man confronts his past, with Juliette in tow and is not anxious any more.
