An average movie

Even though I'm not a huge fan, since François Ozon is still a really interesting director, I was quite eager to check this movie. Well, like most of the movies from this director, it left me equally intrigued and disappointed. Indeed, the whole thing definitely had some potential but I thought he once again delivered something rather half-baked. The main issue I had was probably with the main character. I won’t blame Marine Vacth, she was really gorgeous and mesmerizing to look at and she delivered a decent performance but the approach chosen by Ozon concerning this girl was rather frustrating in my opinion. It's not that I wanted a clear explanation about her actions, it was more the fact that her mind was such a mystery, like all the other characters who try to have any kind of communication with her, you never get to know her at all so it was rather difficult to really care about what she was going through. The other thing that bothered me is that this depiction of the prostitution completely removed all the ugly stuff inherent to this business and what remained was some kind of glamorized vision on the subject and, as a result, it was hard to take it really seriously. On the other hand, you might argue that, because of the way she looked, she was more a high-end escort and, in this case, my last complaint might be then invalid. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch though and I think it is worth a look, especially if you're interested in François Ozon's work.
