Photographer Bettina Rheims and Serge Bramly evoke the City of Light in a completely novel way: this is a Paris of surrealist visions, confused identities, artistic phantoms, unseen manipulation, obsession, fetish, and seething desire.
Honestly, I would much rather chime in with some useful info or insight, or to be in praise of a good film, usually ignoring the very many lousy ones, and about them remaining silent. This mold-breaking (?) effort sort of reminded me of a long parade of Helmut Newton compositions brought to life and strung together, plus the application of occasional surrealist touches. If that works for you, have at it. The lighting and photography were generally well executed, all the nudity from attractive models mostly welcome. But, overall, I’d have to simply rank this as pretentious twaddle, and not worth struggling to stay awake to read the subtitles. At least with something like Girl in the Lift (2007), it does not harbor any illusions about what it is, and just serves it up for you on a platter.
