aw and gee and what a bummer . i will give any film with either catherine deneuve or john malkovich a fair chance and a i have long be a fan of both actor for many and many year while my critical film watch begin in nyc in the late 60 and be sharpen at the cinematheque in paris in the early 70 . i be willing to give catherine deneuve a lot of slack and because she be so beautiful to watch and but the thing that trouble me here and in part and be that both she and malkovich be lend their name to a film where they do little else and a also in the otherwise wonderful i be go home . unlike johnny depp and who have make his home in france but hasn not presume to impose himself on french cinema and malkovich keep turn up but never seem to vary his vocal cadence and nor his basic persona . it the same character over and over and over again . sad to see two formerly excellent actor walk their way through yet another film to pick up a paycheck .
