I went on Wikipedia and read about this film expecting to see a lot about how it was generally considered a hidden gem, but that wasn’t there. Sometimes you really can’t tell.
Soon as a movie has two bicycling women in France see a man at a cafe and one of them likes him. He follows them as they leave on their ride and pull over for a rest. They get in a fight cause the blond girl wants to go talk to the guy and the brunette wants to keep biking. As soon as she leaves though her blond friend is killed, and not the brunette is wandering around looking for her.
It’s a small scale simple killer film, where we follow a pretty young female protagonist and there’s a mystery present. I tend to like these and I liked this one too.
Sure there’s not a lot of intrigue and the characters are all unrealistically written! Sure there’s cops that act like bad guys and war vets who put underwear in their heads! Sure there’s an asshole grocery guy who never gets any explanation and disappears from the movie! But it’s a mystery and it’s compelling.
Filmed in France the translation is an obstacle which I always like as well in a movie. Feels realistic to my life trying to do shit in Nicaragua and Mexico and stuff when I go. This is no masterpiece but it’s a nice 3 star thriller.
