Pretentious French cinema at best... more likely, a failed attempt at cinema.
As a French and a movie lover, I admire many french authors and film makers that are deemed 'difficult' or intellectual (I adore Godard for one). This movie is not a masterpiece of cinema: it lacks all the characteristics of it.
The actors are the major problem of the film. Depardieu has no spirituality and it shows. Sure he's a "nice guy" in life and he can be very good in lighter roles, but how anyone can find him convincing in this role I can't imagine. Sandrine Bonnaire, apart from the fact that it takes tremendous imagination to believe that she is supposed to be attractive, is not movie actress. Her performance is that of a boring theater player (I caught her several times looking at the audience, waiting for applause).
As for the story, it jumps from scene to scene without any sense of continuity or progress, it's mere accumulation that goes nowhere.
But then of course it won a Palme d'Or, well that must mean it's good and we're not able to grasp such high and elevated thinking!
Sorry I don't buy.
