When Block buster's first released this video, it was rated with either 4 or 5 stars. As a foreign film fan, I couldn't wait to watch this dvd. Oh my - it was boring beyond belief. It made no sense, went around in circles and was a total waste of time. Will say, Blockbuster did a great promotion in giving this film so many stars - false but worked for them in my case!! Save yourself the time it would take to watch this and empty your trash or clean your bathroom - trust me when I tell you these would be more satisfying tasks!

I picked this one because I've loved Isabelle Huppert in other films. But this film starts off boring and stays boring. She's lovely to watch, as always, but you'd be better off just staring at the DVD cover.
