CGiii Comment
Losey's penultimate film...and, quite possibly, his worst.
The timeline is so erratic that you have to rely on Huppert's ever-changing hairstyle to keep on top of things...if ever a hatchet job was done on a film - here it is.
But, woefully, that's not it's only problem...the writing is flatulent...wimpy gay man marries lusty girl...who pisses of to Japan with a business man after a very posh game of ten-pin bowling!!! It is as ridiculous as it sounds.
And then there's the direction...or lack of...Losey had little in the way of talent to begin with, he needed a great writer as with Pinter's The Servant...but, by the 1980s, any trace had evaporated - here is the proof.
