Far from 'Mr & Mme Adelman' and 'La belle époque'.

Compared to his first two (and important) films, 'Mr & Mme Adelman' and 'La belle époque', this one falls far short in terms of wit and depth. It develops situations and characters that could be interesting at first glance but end up flat and unconvincing in the final cut.Marine Vacth, who is gorgeous, plays a character who is adrift, unable to make the right decisions in a world to which she does not belong. Pierre Niney plays a character with no particular charms or skills, which makes the attention he attracts from women seem implausible. Adjani builds a character knowing that what she is presenting is herself as an outdated figure at the end of a glorious career, and she does so magnificently.The well-constructed set and the camera movements, which are so accurate and restrained that they are barely noticeable, immerse us in the world of wealth and glamour of the French Riviera.The other actors perform with dignity and style, demonstrating director Nicolas Bedos' ability to handle actors.However, the script, treated as a flashback with a subgenre of courtroom drama in the background, confuses and blurs the main story, which would be simple and easy to tell if this back-and-forth technique had not been used. This is probably more of an editing error than a script error, and I think it has cost the film better ratings.

Not that many masks

No pun intended - the individuals here may be masking their true identity for some of the other characters involved, but we as viewers know them ... and I would assume most will not find much endearing or appealing ... which obviously is a problem if you do not have likeable characters ... rather the opposite to be honest.The main female actress is super beautiful, but also a lot of trouble .. on the other hand, the love interest is not much better ... even if he seems to be naive and good (morally speaking) in the beginning ... now talking of her looks, there is nudity, there are sexual situations, but do not watch this, if that is what you are after. Even if there are quite a lot of "love making" it is (mostly) short and more of the movie showing us that they are crazy for each other ... or just try to get something from whomever they lay with and next to .. just saying - so you can do a movie, without really going into lengths in that respect.The mystery is not really one I'd say ... but the actors really try their best to sell it to us. In different news and because I like numbers, this is review number 11102 ... Maxxine was 11100 - as in third part of the trilogy ... a nice little thing by the way ... and the kinds of kindness gets the "weird" number 11101 ... probably there is a binary meaning to that too ... as inconsequential as this all may sound ... as much as you probably will care about the destiny and fate of the characters in the movie ...
