A comedy of Errors, 14 November 2001
10/10
Author: donalohanlon from Ireland

I caught this movie on cable last night and was intrigued by the presence of Juliette Binoche in a movie I had never heard of. THis is not the usual Binoche movie. She does not give her usual decorious performance, because it doesn't have the depth. The odd story tells us about Esther Bouloire (Binoche) who believes her sister has been murdered by her brother in law (Hence the title). She enlists two vastlt older professors Etienne and Octave (Serrault & Piccoli) to help her uncover the truth. However these amourous gents are more interested in Esther than in the mystery, which is revealed in a twist at the end. What is good about the movie is its caper like tone. Binoche (then barely 25) is utterly georgeos, viewers understand why the two gents like her so much. The elderly duo are funny as they bumble along and fall over each other literally to help Esther. However Rouffio fails to inject the comedy with enough narrative drive, eventually we want to know who killed her. This film is a curio. Watch it for that alone.
