Mortem is not completely without merits, but unfortunately it drags on and on and on, repeating the same ideas and images over and over again. I think that this would have made a good short film, but as it stands it's just overkill. Literally.

Incomprehensible, French thriller (?)
CinemaBuff8418 February 2012
A film that was described as a cross between Mulholland Drive and Persona (two of my favorite films). 15 minutes into the film I was tempted to leave the theater.
The film plays as a SNL type spoof of Mulholland Drive type thriller with none of the brains or wit or ingenuity of the Lynch masterpiece.
Even for the most patient art-house fans (and I rank very highly up there) will lose their patience with this 90 minute film.
Incomprehensible, too intentionally strange for it to reach the auteur level brilliance of Lynch's film. The actresses in the film playing the SOUL and JENA were both very soft on the eyes (i.e very sexy) and some would like the Mulholland Drive level lesbian scene(s) that play out but I could not recommend this 90 minute French thriller to anyone for just those reasons.

A piece of art to discover
owlsagencyparis29 March 2012
Mortem is a true piece of art. His world in black and white, driven myself to the profound questions about who I am.
Do I wan to continue to compromise with myself as I am alive? What accounts will ask me my soul if I will meet her ?.
Beautiful black and white, beautiful story, beautiful music, beautiful frames.
Mortem is a french movie, cinema-scope black and white, the story of Jena a young woman who doesn't know she is dying and meet her soul.
Simply to discover
I wish a successful career in this film in the vein of Cocteau or Resnais.
