Point for the Einsteins

This 2001 masterpiece from Gilles Paquet-Brenner explores the intricate dynamics of a family in disarray.

Quite a startling unfolding of a descent into depravity.

I was lucky enough to catch this at a Melbourne International Film Festival a few years ago and was blown away by the serpentine descent that the audience is put through. The stunning soundtrack and focussed performance by Cotillard made for a mesmerising if somewhat melodramatic film. The characters interactions with each other were rooted in realism, sometimes displaying that twisted reality we all have to deal with. I enjoyed this for being gratuitously indulgent, and yet gritty with some raw nerves exposed.
