You gotta really like French films to sit still for this one. You might like the revealing nude male scenes - full frontal, but there aren't enough to make the rest of the flick worth your time.

Terminally pretentious twaddle taken TO THE EXTREME is what you'll get from this absolutely dreadful French misfire about a poor little rich boy whose mommy died on him years before. He drowns his sorrows in bad poetry (poorly spoken), booze, sex (hetero/homo/bi), his sister, and the son of his current lover--the latter of whom soon leaves us, as well. Thereafter he makes lame attempts at becoming guardian of the boy, finally kidnapping him off to Ibiza for some pretty scenery and more twitty twaddle. I usually have a lot of patience for French cinema, but this one--with its dreadful photography, rock-bottom screenplay and mediocre performances (you can't blame the actors, saddled as they were with a no-account script)--took me to MY extreme and then over the f-ing edge. I would not be surprised if any normal art film enthusiast required a year or more to recover. The writer/director is Etienne Faure (in case you might to want to red-flag that name).
