CGiii Comment
This precedes Beau Travail by 5 years...that ridiculous film of a male institution from a woman's perspective.
Again, Denis does what she's ill-equipped to do - the portrayal of worlds she knows nothing about...for example, the nightclub drag act is ridiculous.
This is piecemeal storytelling - and, frankly, after 20 minutes rigor mortis sets in...boring.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Beautiful Daiga has emigrated from Lithuania to Paris and is looking for a place to stay and work. Theo is a struggling musician, and his brother Camille - a transvestite dancer. One of these three people might be connected to the serial "Granny Killer" who has been terrorizing Paris for a while.
