Warning for English viewers...

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2006)

There are some references to an English audio stream; it is similar to an explanatory type narrative over the french audio. There is no English dubbing. If you're like me, and like to immerse yourself into a movie and find that having to read subtitles seriously diminishes that experience, you might want to avoid this series of films. It also tends to be an 'artsy' film; much is left unsaid, and you have to derive a lot of meaning from the backgrounds in the films. I don't like movies that I have to watch several times just to understand 'everything the director is trying to say'; if a director isn't able to clearly convey what he/she wants us to feel, maybe they're in the wrong business. Being vague in a mystery can be a plus; but in a drama it just makes the plot murky and confusing.
