Plot
The movie starts with an interview with director Claude Lelouch. He pleads viewers not to disclose the plot of the movie after leaving the projection room.
Sinekatalog’s take
A French film that opens with its director begging viewers not to reveal the plot, then plays tricks with thriller and comedy. Playful and puzzle-like, it suits fans of the director's stylish games.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
