It is a really good film, even if I do not always love the idea of confidence tricks, but right at the start the wonderful Isabelle Huppert is even better than usual, if that is possible. It begins quickly and we can hardly imagine what is going with her changing her manner and her appearance. It is as thrilling as possible and Michel Serrault is fantastic, 69 years at the time with 25 more films still to do, and is just as clever as Huppert. The film slows down a little and at the time we are not sure what is going on, maybe even them as well, but then at the end it is wonderful and the moments of violence catch us by surprise. Great.
