This is one of the most "meaningful" videos I've seen. There are the excellent love/erotic scenes, there is the music, and there is the philosophical aspect... Every nuance of emotion is depicted quite skillfully and realistically. Mylene Farmer is a very good actress and thinker and it's a shame she is often regarded as merely a pop singer.

very well made

The movie explores an over-exploited topic (drugs plus AIDS.) However, I am amazed at the talent of the director who didn't use tears and the rest of the sentimental elements to create the effect she (probably) desired. Blind Spot is a movie that shows completely realistically the relationship between a drug addict and his sister who has decided to sacrifice herself. No drama, only real pain.

perfect idea, bad realization

Warning: Spoilers
[contains a few spoilers...] The first thing that came to my mind when the movie ended was, "Much ado about nothing." I loved certain visual effects (e.g. the red lamp one.) I found the idea of the movie (at least the one I found) awesome. However... First: the movie was not what I expected and I don't understand why it should be called brutal. Second, there was too much "crap" next to the good parts. What I could not really understand was the end. After the "Natal Test" I unintentionally caught a glimpse of several people in the theatre. They were watching the screen as though they were about to swallow it, waiting impatiently. I felt like laughing outloud (which was the case even before I saw those around me.) And I wondered, did the director want to make fun of people's susceptibility to movies influence or was this simply the effect of a failure? Anyway. In fact I could say I liked it.
