Where do they put dead people in Paris?, 20 September 2001
3/10
Author: Michael Udel from Guangzhou, China

****WARNING, SPOILERS*****

This is such a strange movie, and I don't recommend it. I just had to comment because no one else had, possibly because I'm the only person who ever saw it. This is a movie about a young man who wants to make his own movie and become a mover and shaker, which he accomplishes through the artful lovemaking of his sister who is essentially a prostitute on a motor scooter.

One thing leads to another and Jeff Goldblum gets attached to the young girl, and is distraught when she disappears. His exhaustive search for her leads him to the Paris morgue where, according to this film, all derelicts and unclaimed corpses are thrown into a 100,000 gallon glass cylinder of formaldehyde.

I haven't given away all the inane plot twists in this film, but don't see this movie. If you're a Goldblum fan and want suspense, watch Mr. Frost.
