Mon Alter Ego

Mesmerizing, riveting, fascinating, stunning principles. Have to watch again and again!

When you feel techno....you learn to be timeless....then it feels deep, nomore slow and sleepy ; ) but may you're right....it's more an european thing being on the point, wich leads us more to timezones!

Yikes, but this is all over the shop. For much of the film, I can safely say I had little, if any, idea what was going on. Who/what is real, or not? I have to say that I didn't really care after about ten minutes of this uniquely indulgent nonsense from auteur Andrew Lint. "Matthew" (Antoine Lahaie) takes a shine to cutie Nicolas Endlicher ("Matthias") at the swimming pool where he works. What follows is the dreariest of sexual cat and mouse games peppered with scenes that don't make sense; incoherent photography pretty much across the board (especially the sex) and a dialogue that is almost Neanderthal in nature. I'll admit I never do surreal particularly well, but this is really beyond the pale.

It is an experimentl movie. This is its basic virtue and sin. It propose impressions, suggestions but not exactly a story. And the warning is clear from the first scenes - the border between reality and dream did not exist. So, it can become boring or bizarre or not to expect or simple pretext for see two good looking young men or to remind slices from O Fantasma. But, in my case, it is only a beautiful film about desire, obscure links, obsessions and loneliness, about relation mother - son and about the other becoming part from yourself, about youth and sensuality, fetishes and life in poetic nuances. Nothing extraordinary but , for a part of public, I suppose, interesting, maybe seductive. For cinematography, not the last.

I've watched this movie, overall it's a bit sleepy but these actors were so wow, handsome and sexy. Antoine Lehaie looks like younger Ryan Philipe. it makes me thinking of some stuff between Bruce LaBruce, early-Almodovar and feels a bit like "O Fantasma (2000)". I'm not recommending you to watch it if you feel tired because it's just so so slow as some regular European movies from Film festivals.
