Down and out in France - the most cynical movie ever., 2 April 2000
8/10
Author: Eric Sayettat (sayettat@hotmail.com) from Auckland, New Zealand

Good tempo and very good actors. A trail of murders for a lonely and intelligent girl made insensitive by a conventional and not so altruistic society. Too weird to be true but so crude that one could think it true.

From the glittering Côte d'Azur to the semi-slums of suburbia we are dragged into the life someone who wants a revenge on life. All characters are realistic caricatures and from the tacky pimp to the rich and cultured blind man, from the wild hitch-hiker to the queer private detective, all look and sound familiar.

The general ambiance oscillates between black humor and dark secrets. Harrowing movie indeed... and with fabulous versions of "La Paloma".
