This movie is the second directed by Bouchitey, after"Lune froide" (Cold moon, 1991). This new one seems to be more"polite", less cynical and sick than the previous one."Seems", because, after a (slightly slow and too easy to predict) first part based on the life of a university teacher and notorious literature critic, the movie turns out to be the story of the madness of a man, and the sick relationship between him and his student/prisoner.The movie focus on the behaviour and psychology of the main character, played by Bouchitey. How, from a frustrated writer, he becomes a maniac, then how, from a cold psychotic, he unveils the cracks of his soul.Both main character, Bouchitey and the young Laetitia Chardonnet, are interesting, moving and deep.If one shall find the end of the movie a little bit"quick", and the whole plot too predictable, this movie remains a good thriller and a good portrait of an ambiguous maniac/victim relationship.[/quote]
