a disastrous attempt to recreate Paris 1900 with Madonna music

Rating: 3/10 (11 May 2001)

Liberation, the French newspaper, says this movie is French CON CON, not can can , a joke meaning it is dumb and dumber. Competing with Huston is a dire problem already faced (with catastrophe) by Roger Planchon, but .....here.....!!
The Paris we see is carton pate, the story improbable, and albeit some songs are beautiful, to see and hear modern lyrics (Madonna, Beatles I think) in an anyway improbable 1900 Paris is the cerise on the Melba. Disastrous Irma la douce Paris was cliche and improbable, but charming. Here, as say Le Monde, it is boring despite some (some) sparkling scenes
