...please please,PLEASE, do not try to ape the Americans or else you would become like poor Jean-Hugues Anglade ,an estimable actor when he is given decent material to work with.
To say the "material" is abysmal ,that's putting it mildly:desultory script which drags all the available clichés:the two sisters and their horrible family ,the doctor who gets an eyeful,the serial killer(s),the innocent going to hell,à la "blue velvet" ,all this wrapped in -you 've guessed it - the most dismal road movie you' ve ever seen.Even the "the long flashback" is not spared the viewer.Jean-Hugues Anglade ,supported,so to speak,by a hysterical cast ,looks ill-at-ease,like a Martian meeting a bunch of natives.The scene where his "classical musician" character turns country is involuntary funny.
