I've heard of sport as a metaphor for life but this is ridiculous; there's literally barely a frame in which two or more of the principals are not rowing, jogging, playing squash, golf, canoing or mountain climbing. It's all in the interests of our old friend the company 'bonding' session and anyone who saw the play Neville's Island will know what to expect. For reasons best known to himself and/or the director Benoit Magimal is sporting red hair this time around; Jean-Pierre Cassel is wheeled on possibly to bring a touch of class to the marquee but the two females, Marion Cotillard and Melanie Doutey both turn in ho-hum performances. If you like sport and/or power games then this is right down your rue but if not you may be sorry you went.
