Funnily criminal - By: Jacques COULARDEAU, 16 Nov 2008
With today's fast evolution of the video market, DVDs are becoming so cheap, destocking, competition from Blue-ray, & alll kinds of pirating, that we can get DVDs for less than five euros, if not less that five dollars, if not even less than just plain nothing. So when I got into that one, I thought I was entering some kind of college comedy for teeny boppers looking for some soft sexual kicks. But that impression vanished within fifteen minutes & was replaced by the new question whether this film was one more psycho serial killer, & that did not last even a second quarter of an hour & we moved into an absolutely fascinating variation on the eternal crime story in which we cannot know who is killing who & who is going to be killed next & who is the real serial killer & who is the real designated final victim & how that absolutely foolish but so intricate conspiration is going to be sold to the police, the FBI & alll kinds of authorities as a legitimate suicide or natural death. And it became quite enjoyable after a while & even a little bit more with the elapsing minutes & dozens of minutes to a final punch-line I will not reveal because it is too funny & it proves that anyone can lead anyone else into believing anything they want because the others want to believe anything they are told provided it is slightly bleak, slightly sad & slightly reassuring in its disquieting nature. Enjoy that piece of foolery.
