We are taken to Lise and Henri's wedding. It is apparent the groom is well off, judging by the opulent ceremony and reception. During the celebration, Lise introduces her brother Sam to a guest. Later on, Lise and Sam are seen outside the mansion in a passionate moment. We are given the impression their relationship is not exactly brotherly, so what's wrong in this picture>
What follows is an account of a conspiracy that will befuddle anyone that is not paying attention to the details that are being sent by the four main characters in this story of lust, deception and crime. The film was shown recently on a French cable channel. It is smartly staged by its director, Gabriel Le Bomin, his second full length feature. The screenplay is based on a novel by Tanguy Viel, and adapted by the director and Oliver Gorce.
The casting of Marc Andre Grondin as Sam paid off in unexpected ways. He and Laura Smet, seen as Lise, give nuanced performances giving life to the two brothers that have a lot to gain by the scheme Lise puts together and asks her brother to go along. Charles Berling, who appears as Henri shows an actor who is versatile and always gives his best to any project he is in. Gregori Derangere is seen as Edward and the excellent Dominique Reymond is on hand as Helene.
The film was shot around Geneva where some of its magnificent views are photographed by Pierre Cottereau. The musical score by Fabian Romer works well, giving texture to the film.
