This is one for the Pseuds Circuit by virtue of the fact that it is possible to 'read' virtually anything into it. With no plot to speak of it's just a voyeuristic trip as we watch four middle aged men literally eat themselves to death. They are described as friends but there is no back story to explain what a judge, an airline pilot, a chef and a man in the media have in common and on what basis they would form 1) a friendship and 2, a suicide pact. As long as we're tossing questions around we might also ask WHY four such disparate men should make such a decision and what, if any, provision they left for any relatives involved. For that matter we could also ask why actors of the calibre of Philippe Noiret, Michel Piccoli, Ugo Tognazzi and Marcello Mastroianni thought this was a career enhancer.
