I have read the book from Houellebecq and watched the movie this evening. It seems that this movie was not made for intellectual or art reasons but rather as an addendum for political discussions in german tv. I should add that these movies are financed by tax in advance, so they need not to have any commercial success and real art could be made (like the book) if only the makers were capable of that. There are two plays in this movie, the real "Francois" as in the book and a theater monologue where the same actor is storytelling parts of the book. The monologue portrais Francois as an idiot with no room for any interpretation (which is totally different from the book). He even looks like a clochard. Moreover it is a slapstic number with laughter from tape and gross overacting and talking to the audience, so any illusion of fiction is destroyed, if you watch this, you just hope that they soon switch to the second play. But this second play is just boring and uninspired. Even there the protagonist remains one dimensional.
