5/10
Why?

Warning: Spoilers
Saw this 7/6/15 on YouTube. Should have been titled, "Why?" as in "Why Make This Film?" Beautiful print, very clear. Stupid "heavy"-sounding American-style pop song played over and over on Ronet's Garrard hi-fi turntable – didn't he own any other records? Story, what little of it I could follow (and even less was worth following), was boring by reel 2. For a long time in this shortish movie little seemed to happen. The Ronet character, perhaps because the writers ran out of ideas after the opening credits, kept asking poor Romy why she killed her boyfriend, the brother of the Ronet character. Then back to the turntable with additional repetition of the title of the movie in English – "Who are you...?" OK – who am I? Someone who just watched a bad movie! Romy and Ronet were much better splashing around in La Piscine (1969). The ending was a real "twist"! Doesn't everyone have a double? Without subtitles I got at least 50% of the dialogue, and I doubt that I really missed all that much.
