The story is simple but effectively narrated. What takes this movie to the “work of art” level is the setting/wardrobe design and cinematography. Don’t get me wrong; acting and script are superb, but none of that would appear as convincing as it does without the amazing recreation of the 1970s atmosphere. It is difficult to believe this was filmed in 2018. Must watch.
didn’t really care for the plot tbh however the film is artsy and cool !
Captivating.
engrossing and beautiful.
Loved it. Gay French giallo, executed perfectly. The kind of movie I’ll recommend to others.
