The curse of French cinema: as it is (heavily) subsidized, people with really original ideas get to shoot them while they are either not necessary talented directors, or not being challenged enough for the ideas to blossom into a great feature.
Shock Treatment is a perfect example. The premise, the synopsis are exciting aplenty, but we only get a pedestrian rendition of it. Basically, apart from the view of Belle-Ile, you would almost be better off reading the summary of the movie instead of sitting through this piece of monotonous movie-making.
