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.
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!
Since "Lemming" came out in 2005 and Antichrist in 2009, I think the latter is the rip off...
Well thats exactly what I meant. LVT ripped off this. Anyhow, both are good films.
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
