A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
That's what Beaudelaire wrote in his eponymous poem.This is probably Jean-Pierre Mocky's best film .It's pleasant to review a good movie of a director who squandered his skills in lots and lots of unworthy films.A man (played by Mocky himself) escapes from jail and takes a woman hostage .She is none other than the daughter of a corrupted politician .She falls in love with the fugitive and like him,she rebels against a society whose only value is dough.The last scenes are among the French seventies' best depicting the folie à deux ,l'Amour Fou.Recommended
