While lightheartedness is not a quality one readily associates with Blier, the movie is more frankly entertaining than most of his previous work.
For those who buy into Blier's style, touching -- and funny -- human truths come shining through.
Paraded around by Blier in various cleavage-popping outfits (and often nothing at all), Bellucci is an amnesia-inducing, hot-blooded presence, blowing the top right off the film with her pristine, slap-yourself-in-the-face magnetism.
It is likely that most viewers will be too distracted by Bellucci's pronounced physical charms to realize just how flat and unconvincing the rest of the movie truly is.
It is telling when a supporting character,...nicely played by [Jean-Pierre] Darroussin, garners far more empathy than the film's stars.
...may be preposterous, but it is not commonplace and for that it gets a mild recommendation.
...nothing short of a complete disaster...
An unfathomable film on many levels... There is no predictable emotional curve, no easy storyline for us to cling to. It's all at once confusing, bewitching and often irritating. Some may be inspired.
A mostly coherent fable that poses as a particularly low-brow sex comedy set in a faux high-brow, very stylised version of the Parisian night.
Wasn't overly keen on this one. Monica Bellucci plays a prostitute, and while she's attractive in a matronly type of way, she's certainly not a drop dead babe as is implied. Movie starts off pretty bland, picks up a little with the arrival of Gerard Depardieu as what I gather is her pimp/boyfriend. Then just slides
