User Reviews

Pleasant enough

This film is based on an American Novel and was made in France. Whilst French Cinema was good on crime thriller films amongst others, they don't know how to make romantic films like the Americans ! If the same subject had been dealt with by an American cinematographer, the result would have been better. That said, I enjoyed this film because of its nice theme music, the beautiful Nathalie Baye, the rolling Medoc countryside and the pure kindness of Guy Tréjean. I also like Véronique Genest and Madeleine Robinson. Bohringer is another kettle of fish so to speak by there again he has a dirty role. Probably unknown outside France, the world won't come to an end if you don't get round to seeing this one !!!
