As a teenager I was mighty impressed when I watched this movie. Most of all, I was impressed by Gorodish's loft, a totally unknown type of living space, from a boy growing up in a standard flat. I was so naive that I did not even realise the lavish use of the colour blue was one of the many "artistic" gimmicks.
Watching it again, after all those years, I realised I did not remember the plot at all and I'd even forgotten some of the characters (Alba, just a touch of fluffy quirk). Even the Diva herself was a blur. The fact is, the plot is risible and main character Jules totally bland and forgettable.
This is just a soulless series of lavishly staged sketches, poorly played by mediocre actors. Only the actors playing Gorodish and Le Curé had a career of some relevance, while the other players fell through the cracks and rightly so. Even the music is boring, despite the punk/lyric pretentiousness.
One point is compulsory and one for that amazing loft.
