This is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review because I feel that watching this movie was a big fat waste of time - and a fairly annoying tedious time at that. If you are wondering whether to spend 1 and a half hours of your life watching this movie - I would recommend against it.
Warning spoilers below:
He shaves off his moustache. His wife then says he never had one. He has photos to prove he does. He never sits with his wife and shows them to her. He has an ID card and passport which show he has a moustache. He never shows her these either.
Then he goes to Hong Kong, on his own and writes his wife a postcard which he doesn't get to post.
Next thing we know she has been with him in Hong Kong all along. But the postcard is still in the pocket of the jacket he came in. Instead of showing her this, he throws it away!
Are we are supposed to believe it was all a dream?
Or is he switching realities?
Or is it the writer trying to tell us to accept whatever crazy non-nonsensical reality we find ourselves in without questioning it, as long as there is some saucy french woman to keep us company?
The film left me quite unsatisfied and a bit annoyed that I had sat through the whole thing.
