Review:

There was no poster immediately available for my review. Should one become available in the future, this section will be updated.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

It's hard not to appreciate the pure chutzpah of this trailer. It is comprised almost entirely of rapid cuts moving the story forward. You almost feel as if you've seen the entire film without understanding a single thing you've seen. It should do well to pull in the audience it most desires: cineastes.

Oscar Prospects:

Will the French submit this film to the Academy? If they do, it could likely be nominated based entirely on the name of its director. However, without the film may end up being too esoteric and surreptitious to be a contender for the prize.
