i love french movie and and catherine deneuve be one of the actress i like the best . in the 90 and she have do outstanding work in thief or voleurs and my favorite season or mon saison favori . i be extremely disappointed in this film . a diamond scam film that have be do before and and good . it do have some good point represent there be a very nice vintage noir atmosphere and and deneuve give a nuanced performance have the alcoholic wife of the owner of an upscale jewelery store ( in place vendome . paris and hence the title ) . he commit suicide and she be suddenly thrust into a world where there be no one to take care of her and she must find her own resource . she do a nice job of this and but unfortunately and the film do not make me care very much about her or any of the other character . the plot involve steal diamond be convolute and and doesn not appear to make make much sense . it look like it be re write too many time and some of the motivating scene and explicatory scene get leave out . i really want to like this movie and but i felt like this be perhaps the bad movie i have ever see catherine deneuve in . it not bad like a really bad hollywood movie be godawful bad and with explosion and trash talk try to fill the emptiness and but it just dull and not fun . two star . if you be look to rent a film with catherine deneuve and try thief or my favorite season bruce .
