8/10
Fascinating! Haunting!
13 November 2001
What a sophisticated, engrossing roundelay! A wealthy neurotic man in his 50s leads an adventurous, susceptible younger man into a psychological/emotional dance that's at once intriguing and cruel. Bernard Rapp's direction is subtle and well-paced, with sudden twists and some stunning images. Both main actors, Bernard Giraudeau and Jean-Pierre Lorit (seen in "Red") perform as though custom-fitted to their roles. That takes professional skill! This film offers more than superficial entertainment. I highly recommend it!
