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

The usually stunning Charlotte Rampling could not save this domestic drama and supernatural thriller,as her role is limited.Actually it doesn't work as either.Started well but interest is lost due to the slow pace and the actors (esp Ms Gainsbourg) seem almost asleep.

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.
