i have hear that novo be compare to memento for the simple fact they both rely on main character suffer from short term memory loss . well and that like compare the silence of the lamb and friday the 13th a both involve a character that kill multiple people . they couldn not be further apart in idea . novo deal with a copier man at a company who do have short term memory loss . he be consistently follow by another gentleman and his bos like to have sex with him in the office . in come a temp who also get involve with him and may or may not use him for sex . needless to say and he have a lot of on screen sex . wait and there more . there a boy who run into the troubled amnesia male and it obvious there more to this boy just bump into him . and there a notebook the man keep to try and remember important clue . i admit i be not one for foreign make film . i do not mind read the subtitle and but i do mind that sometimes that take away from one of my favorite aspect of a film represent great dialogue . since they have to translate and or i wouldn not be able to understand for the most part and i truly believe they simplify what the character have to say . this movie be no exception while the dialogue be just and well and blah . a for the story and it be interest enough to keep me around for 98 minute . weird and yes and but then again i do not live in france and so i be not a familiar with their like or dislike or lifestyle . ( such a and i guess it acceptable for a father to lie with and frolic in the buff with his son on the beach that must be a cultural thing . ) thankfully it wasn not two plus hour of time invest in watch this man regain his past and progressively move forward to his cure . for and when the secret be learn and i be like and really . well and okay then . i can only recommend for somewhat decent acting and good look folk and soft porn sexual situation ( like every 2 4 minute and ) however if youre not into that sort of scene and i would wholeheartedly skip this slow moving and memory regaining film .
