One word for Murray Head: Fabulous!

It is wonderful to be able to view yet another film featuring Murray Head albeit that I live in Canada where French-speaking films are well accepted. Too bad for pure Anglophones that his body of work is mostly in the French language. Yet, language is hardly a barrier in enjoying this talented artist's work as I barely needed to read the subtitles to appreciate this fine film. It's an intriguing love story that has all manner of psychological undertones. Not your Hollywood love story to say the least. I relish the fact that this is the same actor who played "the American" in Chess. Very different...yet...the same. I highly recommend this film for all those tired of the usual formula films.
