CGiii Comment

It has its moments - but writer, actor, director Beauvois seems to have crammed too much into the story.

The ending does demonstrate spectacular bad judgment.

You may even feel cheated...because, it is so ridiculous - as if he had ran out of ideas or, more likely, just got bored with the over-stretched metaphor.

Immature film-making.

The(ir) Blurb...

Benoit (Xavier Beauvois) has planned out his life. Unfortunately he has forgotten the military duty. After he is called to duty he tries everything to get around. He goes to a psychiatrist who gives him medicine against depression. As this doesn't work out he tries suicide. The story gets even worse as he is told by a military doctor that he is HIV positive. Benoit tumbles down into the drug scene. Then he goes to Italy and meets Claudia (Chiara Mastroianni). Things seem to improve, but only for a short time...
