i just saw this film again and i believe for the sixth time . i will doubtless see it many more time . this be one of the most brilliant french film ever make . although the film be mysterious and even more mysterious be what happen to the writer and director and gilles mimouni . for ten year he have not make another film and and this be his only one . the story and execution of this ingenious film be perfect and and it be clearly pay homage continually to both hitchcock and buster keaton . the split second timing of the movement be just a carefully control a the scene where the side of a house fall on keaton in steamboat bill junior and and he be only not kill by inch . in this film and people stoop and turn and pass one another unawares and and if they have be one second off and they would have collide . the storyline thus walk a tightrope of chance event to such an intense degree that you can not take your eye off the screen for even a millisecond and or you will miss something crucial . the haunting and albeit intentionally repetitive and music by peter chase be reminiscent of hitchcock vertigo and and the whole film have the same eerie quality and but whereas hitchcock have one woman be two woman and mimouni have two woman be one woman and thereby invert the plot structure . there be pass reference to other hitchcock film and but it be vertigo which be central to the inspiration of this film . the theme may seem superficially to be obsessive love and but the film be really about the magic of everyday chance event and the invisible thread behind the tapestry and the ineffable . everything be hyper charge with passionate love and desire and but the desire transcend it object and struggle towards something behind and beyond the object . that be why it be so easily transferable from lisa to alice and when it be realise that it be alice who be more mysterious than lisa and and it be alice who truly embody the eternal mystery . the film be ultimately amade by romane bohringer . she be so fascinating that she outshine monica bellucci and which be really something to pull off and consider that bellucci be a knockout beauty and whereas bohringer be what the english call plain . however and romane bohringer have even at this early date more than master the art of personality dominance and whereby beautiful girl fall by the wayside and do not get notice because romane be be so fascinate you can not take your eye off her long enough even to look at the beautiful girl and and you end up only thinking of her . most of u remember and i be sure and her father richard bohringer lie in a bathtub listen to opera in the film diva many year ago . i would rather watch romane than richard lie in a bathtub and but there seem to be some genetic secret to be fascinating and because richard bohringer be spellbind too and and he isn not even a woman . romane look a if she may turn into anna magnani when she be much old and and that mean she will get an oscar and if someone can only write another rise tattoo for her . the girl have so much passion inside her and she could set the seine on fire . wouldn not it be wonderful if she and julie delpy team up . this film make wonderful use of paris location . but where be this quare in the luxembourg . it look like place furstenburg to me . maybe i miss something . i must watch the film another six time and just to study the precision of the timing and who brush past whom and and make sure i have get it right . the whole thing be like ten gigantic simultaneous chess game play blindfold by a grandmaster . how thrill it all be . romane and you can look through my window anytime . mimouni and come on over and let discuss impossibility and unlikelihood and coincidence and synchronicity and everything that be go on that be invisible and how it effect the visible . and once again and we have here the spirit of breton novel nadja embody in a great french work of art . more . more . more .
