Rating: 4/10 (16 February 2000)

This movie so incredibly lacks subtlety, coherence... It is very, very handed, pounding it's "philosophy" whereas it could be delivered with many less words and much more Pictures. (This is cinema, not books). It's plot is quite incoherent, and its end does nothing to help its thesis, nor indeed is justified.
I find it difficult to find its originality, many, many movies have pointed to the superficiality of life according to social standards and some were much better (you guys should see "The rules of the game" by Renoir as an example of how good movies with this theme can be).
All in all, although I can't rate the acting (I saw it in french dubbed version and the dubbing was appalling) this movie has some funny moments, but is really not a great one.
