Synopsis

Alain Getty, a young and brilliant engineer and his wife Benedicte, move to a new city following Alain’s work transfer. They invite Alain’s new boss and his wife to dinner one evening. However the difference between the two couples couldn’t be more extreme: on one hand the young model couple, on the other, a pair corroded by hate and resentment. This disastrous dinner and the discovery of a mysterious dead rodent in their drain marks the descent into pandemonium of their once perfect life. –Celluloid Dreams

Add question and dinner party games as another medium cinema interconnects with alongside theatre and painting (although it’s vastly different from videogames), where the narrative is a game of Guess the Plot Twist' for the viewer unless the script has actual meaning to it. Most of them, like Lemming, eventually lead to me giving up and waiting for the thing to end for the rest of the runtime.

Some really memorable images in this film

Whoever liked Lars Von Triers' "Antichrist" (and liked it) should watch this. It's not a full rip-off, but rather close I'd say. If you believe in ghosts, this is a scary film!

Oh my god! I just love this movie. Laurent Lucas is as always great and both Rampling and Gainsbourg turn in solid performances. However, the true star of the piece is director Dominick Moll who manages to turn the movie from drama to thriller to pure surrealism without making it seem strange or heavy handed. Recommended
