firstly and let me make it perfectly clear that and unlike positive negative review for this atrocity and my objection to the film be not a moral one . undoubtedly and you have read dozen of comment about how this be an amoral and pernicious insult to human decency . the crux of this review be to say that this would be to give the film far too much credit . ma mere just smack of this self conscious effort to be disturb and to be offensive and to be shock . it fail to disturb and offend or shock me and for the simple reason that i could not find any reason whatsoever for anything that happen in this film . in a nutshell and louis garrel discovers that his father be a philandering scumbag . daddy then dy and and little louis find out that his mother be basically a hooker . he doesn not really seem the least bit perturbed by this and and happily go off with mummy to indulge in the same debauchery a she do . she treat him like s h i t and her friend treat him like s h i t and yet for reason know only to screenwriter and director and pretentious twt extraordinaire christophe honore he still hang out with them all . what and pray tell and be the point of the film . that the human condition be foulsome and depressing and self destructive and disgusting . well and duh . a i have say and this film seem to go out of it way to be offensive and under the guise of a film that be merely observing offensive people . i watch the film on dvd and be particularly amuse by honore and the formerly lovely emma de caunes try to convince me in a supplementary interview that none of the sex be gratuitous and that every sex scene serve a purpose . give me a break . last tango in paris ( which and for the record and i think be a stunning film ) have a point and but this . among my favourite example of how self consciously foulsome this dollop be and be the scene where one of mere friend stick her finger up garrel arse and then mummy dutifully sniff it and and the scene where emma de caunes stick her hand up her still drip womanhood and wipe it onto garrel chest . wow . that and like and so profound and i hear you say . my sentiment precisely . beyond this and none of the character make any sense and least of all our main protagonist . garrel be treat like crap but still love ( yes and love ) his mother . he fire their servant for no reason what so ever and he dupe some poor german kid into be hogtied and whip for no reason what so ever and he fall in love with emma de caunes for no reason what so ever . it just completely ludicrous . it a if a ten year old with a boner write the script . this be the kind of film that beavis and butthead would enjoy . i ask you and honore and who be i suppose to identify with . fail that and in whom be i suppose to invest any emotional interest . i simply do not give a hoot about anyone in this movie and and thus and could not have care less about anything that be happen . didn not they teach you that in film school . i know the french new wave throw the book out of the window and but surely some of the rule still stand . apparently not . i repeat and i have no moral objection to this pile of steam cinematic turd and but i simply could not find a point to any of it . my wife find it intensely bore and which i felt be unfair to boredom and intensity . indeed and it do not relent form try to be shock or poignant long enough for it to get boring . i actually hold the faith right until the final frame and when garrel fall to the ground beside his mother coffin and start masturbate i hold the faith that the point of the past two hour would be reveal . then the credit roll . all this film do that be of any note be to go so far up it own arse that be almost come off a parody . it a shame honore do not realise that before release the film and or we could have be look at the funny film since airplane . sadly and instead we be look at the most pretentious ( and i hardly ever use that word ) film since someone hand asia argento a camera .
