I didn't believe for a moment the three main characters in this film were truly film buffs, their conversations on the subject were superficial and pedestrian. The incestuous relationship between two of them is absurb given their very ordinary lives and the film never explains the roots of the sibling's desire. The psychological movie games they played were as harmless and dull as children playing dress-up and seemed an excuse for a more exotic fantasy. This film about an American youth hooking up with sibling students in France during the Vietnam era is not an homage to movies or art or the French cinema, it is an attempt at sexual tension but the result is limp.
