6/10
slow french thriller
5 December 2014
Milan (Johnny Hallyday) is a criminal who arrives in a quiet small town by train. Monsieur Manesquier (Jean Rochefort) is one of the few people around and he invites Milan to stay in his home. He's a retired teacher and the two men talk. They find each other's lives appealing.

The problem for me is that there is some kind of appeal from these two people acting together. They are some well-known french personalities. Of course, I have no idea who these people are and I don't find their interactions that special. It has some interesting moments but it's way too slow most of the time. I kept waiting for things to happen. It's a french thriller with a different sensibility. The dialog is the most important part of the movie and it probably deserves to be listened to in French. I'm not able to appreciate this movie.
