This film is about a French student on a scholarship in Rome. He falls in love with a library intern, but his love is not reciprocated."Défense d'aimer" has an ultra slow pacing; there is nothing much happening even fifteen minutes into the film. It is made worse by all the seemingly artistic scenes devouring on pieces of artwork. The story is poorly developed, especially the relationship between Bruce and Matteo. Many things appear out of the blue and then is left unexplained. The last fifteen minutes is almost a joke. Why would he just find a random girl in the block to talk to? And the last scene is even more puzzling. I found it quite a torture to watch such a faulty and fragmented story.
