this film be the definitive example of pretentious french film making at it bad . what could have be a sharp and witty satire on sexual identity be instead a rancid bouillabaisse of tedium . the main protagonist character be utterly lack in anything remotely positive and his conquest be a equally vapid . everyone in this film either scowl or pout and there be nothing likable about the whole bunch . for a film that be suppose to be a black comedy the one glaring omission be humor . it have the feeling of a movie that wish to be many thing but can not quite make up it mind a to what . what it end up be be just relentlessly tedious . the only humor to be find be in ask one self and do people really talk to each other this way . one only wish the ex con at the end would have wipe out this whole sorry bunch of narcissist and bring some life into this dull mess .
