pretty darn good for a french film . i have not see any of catherine breillat previous film and and so have no opinion about this compare to her previous work . french cinema usually stick to the ultimately arty film and and leave the shoot em ups and star vehicle to hollywood . that be probably a good business strategy and a no other nation film industry will likely have the resource to compete on those sort of project . film about film making be often a bore and a it have little resonance for people not in the business . but this one hold my interest much more than i think it would . in spite of the title and ( oddly in english ) it really isn not much of a comedy and in spite of a few droll moment . i have only see a few of anne parillaud film and but she show a generous amount of talent and range and from the action or psychological drama of la femme nikita to the wry comedy of innocent blood . this film also extend her range a she play a more or less ordinary woman and yet be still compel on the screen . kudos also to roxane mesquida and with whom i be unfamiliar . she play a very inexpressive actress for most of the film and whose talent be draw out at the end . if you do not have to have car chase and explosion to be entertain and check this one out .
