Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

blackpencil I think this movie is a noir very very interesting. The plot and the subject are originally and don't repeat only the same clichés of thriller. The relation between two men is very dangerous and take a way unsuspectingly. This movie is not perfect but is absolutely TO SEE for hungry cinephiles...The shot of the murder of Delamont, with the low angle fixed on the hand's detail with the knife use to clean the fish it's enough to justify the price of the ticket.

ccmiller1492 In this highly unusual film, Bernard Giraudeau perfectly embodies the ophidian lure of the subtle dominator...which engenders a good deal of sympathy for the young man experiencing the ongoing regimen of psychological manipulation, brainwashing, and downright torture imposed on him. M. Giraudeau is a wonderful actor, probably one of the very few who could portray this character. I could not help thinking that his character M. Delamont is exactly like Fassbinder's Leopold, the sinister and tyrannizing character who drove his younger roommate/lover to suicide in "Water Drops on Burning Rocks", released the same year as this film. This film almost seems a sequel: as if Leopold changed his name and refined his techniques enough to cause the events in this film. Bravo, M. Giraudeau. I can't imagine anyone else being able to play either of these difficult, fascinating and repellent roles.

Peegee-3 What a sophisticated, engrossing roundelay! A wealthy neurotic man in his 50s leads an adventurous, susceptible younger man into a psychological/emotional dance that's at once intriguing and cruel. Bernard Rapp's direction is subtle and well-paced, with sudden twists and some stunning images. Both main actors, Bernard Giraudeau and Jean-Pierre Lorit (seen in "Red") perform as though custom-fitted to their roles. That takes professional skill! This film offers more than superficial entertainment. I highly recommend it!

isaias adames This movie completely fascinated me. Nicolas, is a young waiter at a first class restaurant where Monsieur Frederic Delamont, a multimillionaire businessman, spots him as the ideal candidate as his taster. Nicolas' job is to taste all the dishes his boss is going to eat, since he can't eat fish nor cheese. However, the relation between both men starts to get deeper as the old man starts to get obsessed with Nicolas and controls his life. He then bestows on his taster all kinds of gifts. Nicola can't believe his luck, but he doesn't know the stakes he's risking for all this luxury. Frederic manipulates his employee into doing all sort of things and Nicolas doesn't even know why he agrees. At first, Nicolas acts for money, but after a while he falls prey to Frederic's obsessions even though this means destroying his relationship with his girlfriend, Beatrice. She sees how this man has changed his boyfriend and Nicolas doesn't even realize it.I invite you to enjoy this movie, it'll make you think about how human beings are let into situations they can't control, and no matter how much harm they get out of them, they can't stop playing that auto-destructive game.
