Roman De Gare


This is a suspense movie I don't want to say much about because any discussion of the plot will lead me to revealing things that you don't want to know before watching it. A French movie by Claude Lelouch (A Man and a Woman) with fine performances, although some significant "huhs?" along the way.
But it's all worth it because it achieves something that especially interested me. My opinion of each of the three major characters gets pushed and pulled and reset over the course of the film. Plus it manages to scare the bejesus out of me and made me laugh-- within the same frame sometimes.
If it comes your way, it's worth a look. It's nice to be surprised in a movie.
