... as so much can (and obviously does) get lost in the process.
I was surprised so many agreed to the main user_comment at the beginning, until I noticed likely none had seen the french version.
What I particularly liked is that there are various pieces of information what can figure out; like the fact the Sophie (Chiara) is hiding something, what cannot be guessed immediately. Why is even harder. Motivitations are at the core of such movies, and since some things we take for granted can lead us down the wrong path, and like a chess player having read several moves ahead, one must backtrack and start over.
Ms. Marceau surprised me - I knew her to be very pretty, but in this movie she adds a new twist. Mr. Attal is also very good - I'm not sure how easy/difficult it is to portray this - but I was hooked from the get-go.
### It's one of those movies that makes you feel very intensely, even if you can question the motives (i.e. you know that if a "femme-fatale" hits on a plain looking guy, she wants something). Should he go along with this - common sense dictates you shouldn't but there are times in a person's life where you are not ready to make the right decision or don't care to - not realizing how serious the situation can become. ###
All in all, a very enjoyable movie for those tired of CGI, or totally unrealistic movie story lines.
Keep 'em coming,
