The only thing this film has that Kubrick or Lyne do not is nudity.
Vanessa Paradis' bottom is documented throughout, often without real purpose or reason. Otherwise, she is remarkable for a first film shot when she was 16.
Crémier should have known better and this is not a film anyone watches to rate his acting skills.
The representation of the French schooling enviroment is accurate, as can be expected of a director who had been a teacher.
However, all of the above is just wrapping for a tedious, pointless, soliloquy on the identity of death and love (or at least sex); The firlm goes on and on without displaying any real commitment to its topic: it is not a cautionary tale, not a celebration, not absurd, just not.
Watched in French when it came out. Watched partially again in English 2022.
