Not that bad nor excellent French noir and crime feature from the early 2000'S. Monica Belluci could do nothing else than a femme fatale in this topic so much inspired by PICKPOCKET, one of the most known Robert Bresson's films. It was released in deep summer and nearly no one went to see it in theaters. I was alone in front of the screen. Good little film for a director who seems to remain discreet since. Carlo Brandt helps a lot by his presence. His so disturbing presence, as usual. What the production lacked in buget, they compensate by a strange atmosphere, with an adequate score, typically French noir surroundings and untold scenes that the audiences can interpret in their own way. There were batches of such small French films, very confidential, never widely shown but always interesting to discover, then since the eighties. Mostly indie productions, gloomy, bittersweet. This one makes no exception.
