No point to this movie

Yes

great

I enjoyed this movie and have watched 2-3 times in the past 3 months or so. Suggest you consult bluRay.com for a professional review of its contents, technical visual and sound quality. In short, not for someone looking solely for sexual thrills but rather for one who seeks a serious plot with a few very sexually charged scenes ..all in context of the plot.

Bored housewife, unappreciated by her husband etc. interviews two student prostitutes, gets intrigued and then turned-on by their seemingly more exciting, more liberated lifestyle. Lots and lots of questioning looks and smiling between the interviewer and interviewees and... thats about it. No real exploration of the realities of these girls lives, or their clients, a couple of fairly graphic but unerotic scenes and huge amount of well worn cliches. All explored before in the equally insipid, superficial and cliched Belle de Jour. The issues it raises are interesting but, like Belle de Jour, it delivers no answers and the real question is what on earth is Juliette Binoche doing in such a boring and pointless film? A waste of her and your time.

The story line was not clear. This was simply soft-core pornography.

Zero imagination. Sure I had read other opinions and lots of words without real meaning praise this mainstream propaganda. Yeah, for a start producer could not figure out how to show sex, I guess Tinto Brass or DAmato movies are not available in France. Camera and lights works were especially primitive and I was not happy with Jess Franco, boy, I was mistaken. Of course, nobody in this flick works, money no problem, sure, after all unemployment in France only steady 10%. Music--who needs music, propaganda is good without music. Resume--as Italian dictator said--the purpose of movement is to move. Avoid.

GREAT MOVIE

What a disappointment! It is well acted and eminently watchable, except, as is sometimes the case with French film, its lack of an ending instead of being up to the viewer to make is simply a cop out. No, no, no, The last scene makes absolutely no sense.

Well done and I enjoyed the unpretentiousness of the characters and film. I always like the French Movies as they say it like it is.
