By the intensity and earnestness of this 'film' I'm sure the film makers are convinced they are uncovering and making some sort of historical statement... Well what ever the intention was, it' miss's the mark and fails to tell anything that resembles a plot.. quite how this ended up on the Cannes horizons is quite beyond me. Even the cinematography was poor... imo A waste of, what was I presume a decent budget.
I stuck with this for about half an hour before I realised I was dozing off, so I gave up. A group of dissolute eighteenth century noblemen (and a couple of women) in a forest not doing very much, mainly just watching each other. There might be a few soft porn moments but the picture is so dark that it could just as easily have been my imagination trying to fill the void.
