Since Dolmen was laughed at here and the first review mentions it...
... this is a very very bad sign... Dolmen was crushed by French critic but still made a huge audience... Go figure... While superb téléfilms/docu-fiction flop pathetically...
Anything with Claire Keim nowadays sucks badly, yet this was a success in terms of audience...
So that's a bad omen for Le Concile de pierre...
Too bad because i like Guillaume Nicloux's work normally... I think he tried too much there to become a "popular" filmaker...But being popular here is not necessarily a good thing... Ask Claire Keim...
And everybody said from the start of the project that Le Concile de pierre was a good novel but not necessarily Jean-Christophe Grangé's best to adapt... Very hard to put on screen. ..
