Personally I found it really silly to even think that he would try to get back at him by contacting his ex Pierre, I mean really, there are no indications (or no non-indications, which is more the case in this movie, lol) that any of the boys are angry at each other, they are just broken up. Some people have seen way too many revenge-ful movies I think, and it's odd cause I have and I never thought at any moment in the movie revenge was ever a theme, in fact, revenge is not a theme at all in this movie, not even a hint. You could have the sister wanting to rat the brother out, which she doesn't, altho she kinda plays with him in the garden by saying he knows the "girlfriend".
Anyway, I had no idea who Pierre was until they said in the movie he was an ex and by then I thought the bad lighting in the fight scene in the club made Pierre look much better than he did in broad daylight and THAT was Pierre. So I think, since his move to the beach house etc was somehow motivated by the therapy process (someone somewhere said the doctor sent him there, but it is not so, the doctor actually would prefer him to stay in hospital) so meeting an ex of Cédric might help understand him, his relationship and the reasons for the break-up. As for ending up in his house with his mother, I would totally react like an early poster on this thread. He doesn't know him, his mother, he's never even talked to the guy, that's just ugly scenes waiting to happen, and putting Pierre in a dangerous situation at home, he can't know if he was out to his mother, and after all the "conversation" they have in front of his mother is not your everyday type of straight conversation.
I have watched the movie twice, in original with no subtitles. However they mumble too much and talk very slang-y, but I fear as usual subtitles are often misleading and sloppily done and in a movie like this, where the meaning of a single word could mean the meaning of the whole movie, I didn't want to risk watching it with any.
BY the way, I have the German dvd and it is I believe uncut. There is a short "masturbation" scene, the laying in bed naked, the nude beach singing scene at night with "Libertine" and the beach intercourse scene. Just like it was shown on French tv at night.
