With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at crime fans and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful. Shelve it next to Hiroshima Mon Amour.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 45 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
- Not ideal if you just want to unwind.
Dany Longo is red-haired, beautiful, disturbed, passionate--and nearsighted. As she speeds through the south of France in a purloined Thunderbird on an errand for her employer and his wife, no one, including Dany herself, knows where she is headed--or why she is going there.
