Review of 99 Francs (2007) by Sebastien H — 31 Oct 2008

Well, money sure doesn't translate to happiness. At least in this story ridiculous amounts of money only made life delusional and kind of empty. Still people tend to demand more and more money to lead life full of stuff they don't really need.

This was the message in the movie, but what was great in this particular piece was that this message was delivered without irritating and patronizing atmosphere. And although this movie was quite confusing at times, my God was it visually impressive.

All in all, fascinating and different piece. It is always great to see a movie of which you don't know the ending by the half way.
