Review: Magnificent French film shot in the spirit of detective novels 50s. When you look at this picture , it seems that you read the book. It has all the ingredients of the genre – a femme fatale murder, blackmail, mystery and a sense of danger .
Pretty cool story begins , is replaced by a disturbing atmosphere of mystery , reaching the end of his paintings climax. But despite the apparent simplicity , the film is very catchy.
Particularly struck by Claude Brasseur game . He is better than ever . Also in the film is very attractive and sexy Sophie Marceau . She exudes femininity .
It was interesting to watch the metamorphosis of acting duo Brasseur Marceau, who played before in the two parts of the ” Boom “, the father and daughter. Here they are very convincingly played a married couple in which the outward calm hiding long-standing problems .
In the film, a very beautiful picture. White sand beaches and Haiti, as well as possible shade beauty young Marceau and give an exotic flavor of this picture .
