so british, so french, so human !!!!
5 January 2004 | by sadlou – See all my reviews

this is not typically french as i've read in some other comments. the film is based on a british book ....

it's a very acid and cynic satire of how some people's lives are laced with lies ...

it has this kind of witty bitter humour that will make it a very enjoyable movie, and i'm going to buy the book to see if there are any notable differences..

thank you for your attention !
