Stupid aspects of the plot
I saw this yesterday, here (Australia) it's titled "Hunting and Gathering" instead of a translation of the French title.
I enjoyed all aspects of the movie, haven't read the book, but two aspects confused me.
1) Philibert's engagement. WTH? He proposes his girlfriend who the audience hardly meets, Philibert is the most interesting out of the trio, yet his prospective fiance gets about 20 seconds of screen time?
It's so jarring when he proposes before his performance, it should be significant, but it's not because we hardly even know the woman.
2) The plot arc was a tad predictable. Halfway through the movie everybody is happy, the situation has worked out perfect, and surprise surprise, tragedy strikes. The plot itself is satisfying but the abrupt change between happiness and disconnection is so clumsy and immediate, like switching off a light. it really is irritating and frustrating.
