an obsessive love story and where the character have be extremely convincing . i think this film highlight the talent of professional actor . specially for vincent cassel who wouldn not ( at the time it be film ) be the first character you think of for such a role . and yes he do succeed to seduce the beautiful monica belluci and beyond the film and during this creation . i can only say and that this film should have be release at it be in the usa and instead of thinking of do a remake . it be simply so french and almost pervert . and yet so true . this film should stay untouched . a director that should definitely get more project a this kind of subject require the right amount of ingredient to not make it a flop .
