this be an astonishing film represent a romantic thriller with a convolute but perfectly construct and devastatingly symmetrical plot and brilliantly buttress by the use of recur visual motif . everything in it be beautifully film represent the woman and the apartment while but more amazing be the devastate juxtapositioning of image and almost every scene have echo of another . this be a story tell in light and in colour and in many almost parallel . every time i watch it and it fill me with delight . the acting be great too . romane bohringer be stun a a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown represent everything about her change with her mood . vincent cassel play a very different role to his part in la haine while but no less excellently represent shifty and sympathetic at the same time . and monica bellucci ah . and monica bellucci and well and put simply and she play ( be . ) the world most perfect woman . there one small scene about three quarter of the way through where she do nothing more than smile while yet in that instant and say more than hour of hollywood junk . one can not do justice to this film without at least mention the superb and sequential climax represent sad and shocking and ironic and subtle in turn . but if one moment capture the brilliance of this work and it the scene at the start of this fabulous denouement and the prospect of which have be teasingly lay before u throughout the entire story . yet when the moment come and it be handle so delicately and so briefly and so deftly and that on reflection it make you gasp . only a director of stagger confidence would dare to underplay this vital point . but the confidence be justified . cinema doesn not come much good than this .
