What a beautiful, thought-provoking film. It is simply amazing. To watch this movie, and to love it, you need patience because you need to understand the obsession, the jealousy and the feelings both characters have for each other. This movie is especially recommended for those who have ever obsessed or have been madly in love. A highly recommended movie.
shareI agree. I know what it's like to feel attached to a woman that will ultimately dispense with me. I also loved looking at Sophie Guillemin's great body though. So it worked for me on both levels.
shareLot of traffic here, lately.
I also felt atracted by her voluptuous body, almost instantly when I saw her first. Her simple attitude adds to the humor of the movie and her physical attraction.

It is a great movie but I fear it's ignored because of the frank and explicit sex scenes. The script is so spot on with the performances and yes it is very erotic!.
shareI'm afraid the film left me cold (which quite possibly was the intention, I realise). The main character was juvenile to an unbelievable degree. The expression here would be 'up himself' and I'm afraid that 'self' would want to be a hell of a lot more interesting to base any film of interest around.
While the variety, bravery and depth of European/World cinema is essential as an alternative to the Hollywood mainstream, I couldn't help but think 'only in France' (and yes, I believe it was an Italian book). Perhaps it suffered in translation. The storytelling possibilities around the theme of obsession – and even boredom – are endless.. this was a pure let down. The scene where, before 'granting' his lover permission to join him in bed, he makes her perform a number of useless errands around the room was laughable (except I didn't laugh) and stretched credibility utterly.
