A Brutal Game

Bruno Cremer is purely awesome, terrific in this role that seemed to have been written especially for him by his friend Jean Claude Brisseau with whom he had already made another movie: DE BRUIT ET DE FUREUR. I am sure that a father daughter relationship has never been shown in such a way. Nasty, disturbing, depressing, a character symphony totally unpredictable and certainly not destined to wide audiences. It deserves to be considered as a cult movie. Acting is not always adequate by we don't really care about that becaause, I repeat, this plot is unique, under the condition that you are prepared to watch it. If not, you may feel dizzy or at least more that puzzled. For instance, it is impossible to feel empathy for this poor disabled girl who finds pleasure torturing animals.... And I enjoyed the clockwork sound during many scenes.... It brings rythm to the movie.
