Excellent but disturbing, 24 September 2003

Author: FabZeFab from Paris, France

I saw this film about 12 years ago but i still remember it. Bouchitey is one on my favorite french actors and he made something great with LUNE FROIDE: 1 - He managed to adapt perfectly Charles Bukowski's universe (and that wasn't an easy piece!) 2 - He filmed in black and white, an excellent way to bring despair, troubles and loneliness 3 - as an actor he's just great (Stevenin too)

a great french film, 9 August 2003
Author: dolot-olivier from Nancy France

I saw Lune froide some years on a bad quality video tape but i still loved that film.

It's a comedy where l'humour noir is all. The dialogs are superb. JF Stevenin and Bouchitey are fantastic. The others actors are OK. Maybe you have to be french to appreciate entirely the film (it's a lapalissade to say that...)

You can compare this film to "Les valseuses", one of the best french film. There's a kind of rnr attitude, it describe looser at their best, with an intelligent stupidity. You may think too about "Les démons de Jésus", once again with Bouchitey.

The episode of the dead body is not very important to me, looking backwards. It's more the relations between people and their behaviour which are important.

A great movie with unnecessary necrophila scene, 15 August 1999

Author: OJT from Norway

This movie was stopped by censorship so it wasn't shown in the cinemas i Norway. We saw this at our private Film Club - an arrangement in Norway allowing us to set up films not ordinary movieshowings, also the total censored ones. I saw only 5 had seen it, and given their response, none had written a comment, so here it is.

It is really a funny film. The two poor main persons are friends having lots of fun and trouble. The film changes when they steal an ambulance. They find out that there's a corpse of a beautiful woman in it.

Without telling too much, you'll soon enough know that it ends up with one of them falling in love with the corpse. It sounds disgusting, and it is of course, but the film doesn't show too much of that. The film is well worth seeing, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

The humor is great, but I must say the film would have been great also without the necrophilia scene. Go see it!

The Dead, 21 October 2002

Author: walesgvdh from Delft, Netherlands

no pun intended, the atmosphere reminded me of 1987´s The Dead by John Huston, which I saw for a second time shortly before Lune Froide debuted at our local "filmhuis Para" in Breda, you should try to watch both these movies, it´s a good combo, I remember pondering afterwards
