What a disappointment. This film shows no innovative approach : narrative voice-over in a very dull way. No taste : some unnecessary shocking scenes (the girl bitten in two ? come on!). No great scenery : this could have added some dramatic effect. No balance, too much focused on Julie Delpy. No respect for the skills of great actors like Brühl and Marinca. They get predictable, rather stupid dialogs, and I think they felt this too. I didn't buy their 'emotions' for a second. The character of the 'witch' deserves more attention. This film was shown on the film festival of Ghent : well, it didn't deserve its place there.
