CGiii Comment
The idiot, the pathetic and the pseudo...bearing in mind that this is meant to be a comedy...three of the most unpleasant characters you never want to meet.
Here they are...in a film that boasts more lows and no highs...apart from the mountain tops.
Here are a few of those lowlights...the list in inexhaustible...
The journey to Austria - a cheap, badly-photographed montage.
The nightclub scene...beyond comment.
The pseudo writing voice-over...bad idea.
The predation of the schoolboy will make you skin crawl.
And, just when you think it can't get any worse...it does. A ghostly punk opera singer sings for no apparent reason. The end.
Chiha - the director - brilliantly shows what a malfunctioning meltdown looks like.
Looks like the end of a career.
An atrocity.

The(ir) Blurb...
Rudolf, a bookshop salesman, Gabriel, an actor, and Nicolas, a bar waiter, share more than one common point: the three of them are thirty-something, gay and… neurotic! So what a shock when, following a sentimental break-up, Rudolf decides to leave Paris (and his two friends at the same time). What he wants is to put order in his life and it seems to him the best thing to do is to move back to the village of his birth, somewhere in the Austrian mountains, far from the chaos of Parisian life. After a moment of panic, Gabriel and Nicolas decide to follow Rudolf to Styria. Little do they know how eventful their trip will be…
