I wish I could direct this film!

Really the script and the design of the film is very nice. Rona Hartner was an amazing actress. Romain Duris and Ouassini Embarek also performed very well. The film has a fascinating structure. Social messages were impressive. The film's comedy was successful. Best movie I've seen this year! It should definitely be monitored.

A mess

This movie is an attempted rehash of Godard's Breathless, updated with a sympathetic look at dole bludgers and illegal arab infiltrators. There is little plot or structure to interrupt the incessant Marxist sloganeering and posing, but there are a couple of moderately amusing scenes which slightly redeem it.
