gilles mamouni be play with the audience with the story of max ( vincent cassel ) in search of his big lose love ( monica bellucci ) just before to get engage to another woman . mamouni use many flashback sequence without warn so the best way to know where we be in the story be to watch for the actor haircut . oherwise it can get very confuse . still a strong film debut for mamouni and beautifully photograph by thierry arbogast ( the 5th element and the messenger ) and and monica bellucci be a darling to watch . i felt a little disappointed near the end so i give it positive .
