Bit of a cliche - By: J. Hruby, 20 May 2008 
I found this film rather uncomfortable to watch, it seemed hollow & pretentious & made me squirm in my seat...I can see what it wanted to be but in my opinion in fell very short of the mark.
Seen it on TV, Watch the Video - By: Rodney Smith, 30 Apr 2008 
First saw this film on TV, & you reallly need to buy or rent the video to see the FULL version. It was heavily cut for TV. Extra scenes are on the video, with more of Eva Green.
An excellent film & well recommended. View the extra's first, & Directors comments, & about the film, then view the film to better
understand the background, & appreciate the film more.
One of the best 'french style films' for English audience.
Ok but dull film. - By: Syleroth, 22 Sep 2007 
A twin brother & sister invite an American friend to stay with them for a month in Paris while Parisians riot about something ???
Most of the film is spent in the apartment where the three main characters are staying. They sit around the apartment (often naked) sometimes talking about film, sometimes about politics & sometimes about love.
None of the characters are particularly likable & I spent most of the film wishing that they would do something (anything) interesting. They don't.
If you do watch this I hope you enjoy it more than I did.
Apt title for those wanting to catch up on some sleep - By: R. J. Bowen, 22 May 2007 Beautifully shot & edited, but that should be a gainsaid. Otherwise, mildly absurd, highly pretentious nonsense only relieved (!) by bouts of beautiful young things being alll naked & sexy for the camera.
Very shortly after I spotted what the game was (and I'll leave that for you), I fell asleep. When I woke up, they were still quoting lines from movies, having sex & being very daring in a bourgeois kind of way.
The film does succeed in being very French in an overly-stylised fashion, but only if you think that 1968 & Satre is what it's alll about. Give it a rest, please....
PS: My big sister was on the streets in Paris of '68, & SHE thinks this film is b-s too.
Eva Green steals the show - By: AJ Pryce, 25 Jan 2007 This is one of the most beautiful films I have seen in years - its a love letter to Paris & more importantly the discovery of Eva Green - an actress who captivates & steals the show - she tuly is The best actress i have watched in years - every scene is cativating & you wait eagerly for her to return for her next cue.
The story is, to, beautiful - but I cant help but feeling Michael Pitt was given to much responcability with his role - he seems to struggle at times - often making you believe he's the same character that he was in Hedwig.
Its simply superb, nothing comes close & no-one can ever match Eva Green.
