So wait...(spoilers)


Did she sleep with Charles at the end, or not? Or did she just tell that to Antoine because that was basically the only thing that would ensure he wouldn't want to reconcile? Bottom line, was she leaving both of them at the end??

Ah, who am I kidding, of course she slept with Charles, and of course she was going back to him. I was with Antoine all the way on this one, and can just imagine the pain he went through hearing the news (as a guy, I've been crushed over less). Goddamn tramp!

In any event, this has now entered my top five films (probably top two) of all time. With the exception of Fincher's The Game--a totally different genre--no film had managed to pull me into its world like this one did. That's due in no small part to the fact that I went through a similar gut-wrenching love triangle scenario myself a few years back. By the end of this film, I was rabid, hoping against hope that Lucille would choose to stay with Antoine. I was crushed when that didn't happen.

I normally don't like romantic films, even though I'm a romantic myself. That's because we can't make a goddamn decent one here in the States. But I've gotta hand it to the French and Italians, they GET it. Thank God for foreign movies.
