À ton image

I do not like the work of Christopher Lambert, with the exception of his phase between 1984 and 1986 ("Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes", "Subway" and "Highlander"). However, I simply love the adorable Natassja Kinski, one of the most beautiful actresses of the cinema industry. "À ton Image" is not so bad for a Christopher Lambert's movie, but something is missing to be a good film. The idea of a sterile woman with a guilty complex for the loss of her unique son and submitted to a cloning experience, and her beloved daughter being an evil replica of her, is excellent and updated. Unfortunately, the direction is too cold, without feelings, and in the end this movie is only reasonable. Anyway I think it deserves to be watched at least once. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "O Clone" ("The Clone")

the German title of the movie was actually very tempting (im spiegel des bösen, which means translated something like: in the mirror of evil), "but", the movie was like i feared it to be. the theme was good, but the acting...... Christophe Lambert; actually i don't know about this guy. Either he has no feelings, or he can't show them. Throughout the film he only exists. only at the final scene, Nastassja Kinski shows some "acting" and feelings. Lambert and Kinski don't fulfill the expectations and stay below their capability. i think, the theme is not really meant to be a drama, more a thriller/psycho-thriller, but the development of the movie/story is too slow fur such a genre. I wished the actors would have been on top of their performances and the movie had it's own "dynamic life", in order to fulfill the requirement of it's genre... As a final word; if you're a Lambert and/or Kinski fan, enjoy the movie...
