I would love to see it. I saw the trailer too and I'll be taking a trip to New York soon and I'm going to try to see it there. It looks really great and Ebert & Roeper gave it two thumbs way up. Judging from the trailer, it looks very haunting and brilliant. It looks like it will also be rather disturbing and dark. I hope it works.

I thought it looked more like a playful murder mystery. But I'll see anything from Francois Ozon, so I'm there.

Isn't that like an oxymoron?

I just got back from it; it was sort of okay, but if you're in the mood for a lot of nudity, this is your ticket! It's more of an afterthought, compared to Ozon's other films, but it has it's good points (including the nudity). It reminded me, in its twists and turns, of Julio Medem's 'Sex & Lucia,' only far more sedated (for better of worse).

Ludivine Sagnier is quite attractive (and bears a striking resemblance here to Christina Aguilera), but judging from '8 Women,' I had thought she was really young and had very rapidly matured between that film and this one. Turns out she's actually twenty four.

Just saw it as well. I'm not sure if I feel strongly enough about it either way to give an informed opinion. I did enjoy a good amount of the photography, as well as the nudity, which was many and plentiful!

No, Copley. But I'm a frequenter of Kendall. This sounds like a job for PM!

I heard that it had a lot of nudity, but I also heard it had a lot of really strong sexual content. Is that true?
