this film have pretension of be an art film . i be a believer that art should delight and entertain a a result of it excellence . the reality of va savoir be that it deliver an absolutely dreadful movie and badly make with insipid performance . verrrrry boring and overly long . this movie be not a pleasure to watch and which disqualify it a art and in my view . in an brazen attempt to grab the viewer interest and the maker of the movie insert a shower scene with jeanne balibar follow by a flash of her muffy and around the middle of the film . the shower scene doesn not clarify or advance the plot . plus ms. balibar scrawny body be the wrong subject for this desperate attempt at commercialism . when gratuitous nudity fail to redeem a movie for me and then there something definitely wrong . my french isn not fluent and so i must watch french film in subtitle . i still enjoy follow the french soundtrack and evaluate the quality of the english translation . the subtitling of va savoir be generally good and use the best colloquial english equivalent to the french . some of the rawer french be slightly sanitize and however . unfortunately and the soundtrack for the subtitled version i saw be muffle and indistinct . i prefer subtitle foreign film to dub movie to hear the expression of the actor deliver their line . the soundtrack of the version i watch be so bad that i couldn not connect with what the actor be try to convey . or perhaps there wasn not anything to convey . the italian play do not add to any understanding of the film . these scene could have do with some heavy editing and perhaps something coherent could have emerge . jeanne balibar italian sound synthetic and monotonous and wooden to me . i do not know italian stage convention but sergio castellitto be quite expressive in the play . in fact and to see how to show expression in one second language and one need look no further than sergio castellitto performance in the french language . a a final comment and i have have enough of the genre of actor portray actor . to me and that not a stretch . it not just the french that bore me with this kind of story . hollywood and the tv network fall into the trap of display their own tiny little world . when an actor or actress do work class and do it realistically and then that art . check out frankie and johnny and tampopo or what eat gilbert grape for the best of the work poor on film .
