Brother and sister

Some will mention Chabrol but you would hardly find the bourgeoisie satire which was that director's trademark.The heroine wants to marry a wealthy man just because she wants a life of luxury.And passing her lover off as her brother allows her to have both (lover and husband) at home.But things are not what they seem.The screenplay, based on a book I have not read ,strongly reminds me of Thomas Boileau's and Nicolas Narcejac's complex detective stories with a touch of melodrama thrown in for good measure .Directing is effective if not outstanding,maybe too much relying on flashbacks (the director is not Clouzot obviously).The male cast is good: the young lover ,with his childlike looks and his jealousy (he fears the husband might take the best of his "sister") is very convincing.Charles Berling gives a good performance of the widower looking for another true love.Gregory Dérangère (who was remarkable in "L'Equipier" ) is certainly one of the most promising French actors of today.Laura Smet ,on the other hand ,is as expressive as a Buddha.The ending takes the easy way out but the movie is a watchable thriller.

A big yawn

Predictable and uninspired. The lead actor who plays the brother is particularly bland yet the director spent huge amount of screen time on way too many close-ups of his pretty face which quickly became tiresome. It really slowed down the pace of the movie. The sister, who was after all the center of all the three men's attention, was not as favorably showcased as the brother which did not help in explaining what was so special about her and would cause such crazy behavior by her suitors. I watched the original French version and had a hard time understanding what the lead (Grondin) was saying. Lots of mumbling yet no problem clearly understanding all the other actors. I watched the movie because I am a fan of Charles Berling but the storyline and the motives of the characters really did not make any sense. Some aspects of the storyline are still unclear but by the end I no longer cared. Don't waste your time on this one.
