This is a meaningless movie that is very tedious to watch.
The only purpose this movie serves is for 17-year-old boys who've adopted a beret and are attempting to impress the girls by pretending they understand it. They don't, because it is not possible to understand something that has no meaning.
I used to go to the alternative cinema on a regular basis to watch rubbish like this, and like Eraserhead, and we would watch the audience with an eagle eye to make sure everybody else in the cinema could see how cool and wise we were, not to mention artsy and sophisticated.
None of this has anything to do with what it takes to make a good movie.

I watched this movie last night and loved it.
From the opening scene where the caricatured bumbling mainland police are foiled by the caricatured independantist locals, I was laughing my head off.
Remi the private detective from Paris is hired on a commercial matter to go to Corsica to find Ange Leoni, the independantist who happens to be on the run from police.
Many farcical scenes ensue as Remi comes up against a closed culture while Ange plays cat and mouse with the police. Meanwhile rival gangs of independantists and rival judicial organisations all vie with each other for influence and control over events with mostly ridiculous results.
I've never been to Corsica, but if you've ever read "Asterix in Corsica", you will understand what all the jokes are about, although I doubt this movie would be anywhere near as much fun with subtitles.
The deliberately thick patois at the start is only there for colour - the rest of the movie is in lightly southern-accented French.
