Ambivalence and possession, 25 September 2009

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This film is about attraction and repulsion between two female students, Emma (Isild Le Besco) and Marie (Judith Davis). Romance between girls can turn well and become real love as it was shown in the very light comedy "Imagine me and you". But it can also present real pain and end up in drama as in "Lost and Delirious". "Je te mangerais" belongs to this second category.

Emma lives on her own in her parents huge flat in Lyon. Her father is dead, and her mother has vanished some time ago without giving any more news. She offers her only friend Marie to rent a bedroom in the flat, so that this one could pursue her studies of piano at the prestigious local music academy. From the day Mary moves in, we can see the development of a difficult lesbian relationship between the two girls. Emma becomes obsessed by Marie and tries everything to conquer her, but mainly with counter productive effects. Mary, navigates between confused, interested, tempted, scared, irritated and even disgusted feelings. She eventually becomes even cruel when after leaving the flat, she decides to come back with her new boyfriend.

Both actresses do a good job but I really did not like the characters they play. You do no find the search of ideal and passion, expressed by Piper Perabo. Overall the whole film is a bit slow, predictable and joyless. It is not bad, but on the same subject I would rate the film from Léa Pool much higher.
