Goofs:

Anachronisms: The end of the movie is supposed to take place after Nathalie is released from prison, several years after the main plot takes place. Yet the movies advertised on the advertisement pillar in the background (See Spot Run (2001), Town & Country (2001)) were released in France around the same weeks as the movies referenced in the main plot's time frame (Sleepwalker (2000) etc.). more

Quotes:

Christophe: I am the death of all and the birth of all. Word and memory, fortitude and mercy, and the silence of secret things. more

Laughably bad, 25 February 2004
2/10
Author: fat_hot from Brooklyn, NY

I saw this movie last night; my date and I couldn't help but laughing throughout as it was so entertainingly bad. First, the softcore male-fantasy component was utterly cliche; constant female masturbation, lesbianism for the benefit of male eyes, "the one masterful man who can give her an orgasm", etc., etc. Second, the main male character's lines were some insanely sophomoric De Sade pastiche; my favorite line: "Am I crueler than God, or Creation?" Third, what was with the woman shrouded in black and her death bird? I thought I was watching an early-90s goth-punk video. Every time I saw her I thought they should have flashed "FORESHADOWING" in big letters on the screen.

Definitely see it for its unintentionally humorous badness.
