I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

So much average

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It's a pity we were unable to watch the complete version of the movie, that lasts nearly 5 hours. It might give us a complete story that is too short here. Maybe one day Beineix will release it on dvd...

Dreary and very slow. Almost pointless. There maybe something here, but that would be a real stretch. A game between the socio-economic classes: the have's and have-not's. Pseudo-psychological? Is it possible that Nastassja falls for a male bimbo? It is no wonder that this film will probably never see the light of day in a DVD format. The darkish, grim European dock/waterfront slightly lightened up a bit by a red convertible car, driven by Nastassja.

Warning: some minor spoilers ahead!This movie is high cinematic art, but it requires a fine sensibility to enjoy. Beineix creates a dreamworld, with the sublime and frightening emotions of dreams, and that characteristic dreamlike fluctuation of the plot, where you can expect anything in the next moment, good or bad. And indeed, it ends up in a nightmare, and you wake up asking yourself why was it a nightmare, why did all of it happen the way it did, and ultimately, what is the purpose of life and the meaning of existence.All the actors, in my opinion, did an excellent job, quite aware, I guess, of the lofty artistic goals Beineix tries to achieve. All the roles are perfectly believable, because they are not reduced to simpletons as Hollywood often does, but are provided with all the contrasting emotions, weaknesses and strenghts, virtues and vice of real human beings.This movie won't be appreciated by everybody, because it wasn't intended for everybody, just as Mahler's symphonies are not appreciated by everybody. Fortunately, there are the pleasant tunes of Strauss to satisfy the public at large.

One would imagine that any film staring Depardieu, Kinski and Abril would be worth watching for their performances alone... but not in this case. The pace of the story was slow, and its premise was instantly forgettable. NOT recommended.
