Viewing Notes
A decent, likable French mystery movie starring the great Dominique Pinon (who I mostly remember as the crippled Vriess from Alien: Resurrection).
The plot is confusing for a while, and seems to weave a number of possible characters together. Some of the characters are not-so-likable, and it took me a while to muster up any sympathy for them.
It does feel a little too forced, which seems to be typical of French mysteries, but still enjoyable.
