Asia Argento in Les morsures de l'aube (2001)

Review by siderite

Les morsures de l'aube

7/10

I liked the actors and the atmosphere of the film. The story was kind of weak.

Guillaume Canet was brilliant as the night-life addicted charmer, reminded me a lot of Gabriel Macht. They are almost the same age, too. If you take these guys and make a film where they are brothers raised in different countries, you will make a buck. I also liked Asia Argento, although her role wasn't much, while Gérard Lanvin is always a delight, regardless the role. The star of the film was the mood, the stylized view of the night life (in 2001), and the actors just filled in.

The weak point was the story, which was sometimes needlessly convoluted and sometimes too simple. A lot of setup was used to promote the main character, but almost no characterization or growth was used for any of the others. The villain, if one can call him that, appears for a few minutes in overly theatrical scenes that make little sense.

Bottom line: a noir kind of experiment, with good actors and great visuals, but a lame storyline. Matters not, because the story itself is meaningless to the experience.
