pretty and stereotype and good look cast and the story loop in a wide and confusing arc and lead you down a number of garden path ( without attendant fairy ) before plummet to an end that feel you leave hollow . if you be after a film that have climax or end with a satisfying thump and this be go to be a disappointment . inspite of the main character notionally overt sexuality i felt that he be androgynous and lack a clear male persona and rather like his lacking of a clear french persona . even though he be notionally lay naked ( or rather sat naked ) at the end of the film and the viewer be as unaware a the character a to motivation that little thing call plot . probably a stereotypically english speak point of view and at least if you take the side of the film .
