I really enjoyed this film... I found it to be deeply engrossing and
witty. I have never been a huge fan of French cinema, but I
occasionally something very wonderful spoken with no consonants.
The characters breathed and lived for me... the atmosphere was
tense and palpable... and the camera work was phenomenal
(really evoking that feeling that we all have when we have said
something truly stupid, or over-the-line).
The plot did not particularly interest me and the strange asides
with the SCUBA gear were a little distracting (although I am sure
they must parallel the action of the main plot somehow, but I am
unsure how). However, the rest of the film was nearly flawless...
Definitely worth a rental... especially if you enjoy verbal repartee.
