Is There REALLY A Market For This ...

Warning: Spoilers
... other than Les Halles - the 'stomach of Paris' had recently been razed to the ground and this ... I hesitate to use the word film ...was filmed in the space created. Fereira acknowledges no rules of logic; time and again we are told we are in Washington DC or in Dakota, scene of the Little Big Horn aka Custer's Last Stand yet all the shop signs are in French and there is even the occasional street sign bearing the legend: Rue; there are even more specific references to President Nixon - indeed his photograph is prominent, yet most of the principals are dressed for the nineteenth century, including Catherine Deneuve. Somehow, and God KNOWS how, Fereira is able to get fine actors to forget all their training and turn in performances that would be unacceptable in a Church hall and I myself am equally naive, having seen ONE Feriera piece of crap in the same season as this I knowingly and willingly subjected myself to a second using the logic that NOTHING could be worse than Dillinger Is Dead. Boy, Did I Get A Wrong Number.
