I thought this was one of the most sophisticated and succinct depictions of the corrupting and ever-consuming Power of Sex; how it can consume and drive some of us into madness, as it can also destroy the very essence of our being. This is also the story of a lonely mother and daughter, who are, on the surface, looking for complete different things, without realizing that they seek the very same intimacy…Shot with mostly a hand-held camera, and reminiscent of recent films like “Half-Nelson” or Lukas Moodyson’s ’Lilja-4-ever;""Riviera" is a dark and haunting tale of innocence, love, desire and murder, which will most definitely going to haunt you for a very long time…
