Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

markwood272 Saw this 7/6/15 on YouTube. Should have been titled, "Why?" as in "Why Make This Film?" Beautiful print, very clear. Stupid "heavy"-sounding American-style pop song played over and over on Ronet's Garrard hi-fi turntable – didn't he own any other records? Story, what little of it I could follow (and even less was worth following), was boring by reel 2. For a long time in this shortish movie little seemed to happen. The Ronet character, perhaps because the writers ran out of ideas after the opening credits, kept asking poor Romy why she killed her boyfriend, the brother of the Ronet character. Then back to the turntable with additional repetition of the title of the movie in English – "Who are you...?" OK – who am I? Someone who just watched a bad movie! Romy and Ronet were much better splashing around in La Piscine (1969). The ending was a real "twist"! Doesn't everyone have a double? Without subtitles I got at least 50% of the dialogue, and I doubt that I really missed all that much.

christopher-underwood Something really quite different here and although it is rather far fetched, it is nevertheless rather beguiling and I enjoyed it anyway. I also enjoyed it despite the soundtrack and naff songs, although I notice some really liked what I would dismiss as typical French pop songs of the period. Well photographed, this almost had a arty look to it at times and if this look is not sustained there is plenty that is good. The cliff top scenes at the start, some city shop window reflections and of course 'the accident' are all very well shot. Some of the interiors are a bit wordy (a French habit) and whilst there are some nice costumes, nothing as ravishing as if this had been an entirely Italian production. And, I can resist no more, Romy Schneider is lovely and carries out her difficult and rather complex role very well indeed. As I say all a bit silly but, bright, colourful and ever engaging.

austrianmoviebuff "Qui?" is a less-than-mediocre wannabe Hitchcockian thriller from France about murder and love and confusion. A messy screenplay, and Keigel's inept direction didn't help here either. If it wasn't for Romy Schneider, this piece of crap would long have been forgotten.As Marina, she stumbles through a thoroughly uninteresting plot in which she first "kills" her cruel lover (Gabriele Tinti) before he re-appears and gets killed for the second time. In the meantime, his suspicious brother (Maurice Ronet) had fallen in love with her.Sounds familiar? Well, I bet I've seen it better in, like, two dozen other movies. Albeit its duration of only 74 minutes, "Qui?" seems overlong and pathetic. Where Hitchcock had his humor, Keigel confronts us with bitterness and endless flashbacks. No story, no entertainment, no message, just a big, plain nothing, mixed up with bad performances, terrible music, inept camera-work and editing. Thank God Keigel didn't make much more movies!

dbdumonteil Frankly I doubt Schneider herself said that this movie "set the tone for her future roles".If such was the case,what a poor taste she used to have.Actually,it was rather "la piscine" made the year before,that boosted her career that was on the wane after the Sissi saga (forever my love).Romy Schneider teamed up again with Maurice Ronet (who was in "la piscine" too),but this time with laughable results.Leonard Keigel,the director ,wrote a screenplay in which the paucity of the ideas is so glaring that only a member of the audience who has never seen a Hitch ,Chabrol ou Clouzot movie could enjoy this poor would - be suspense thriller.Keigel hired Chabrol's dialogue writer,Paul Guégauff:probably horrified by the emptiness of the story,he made up for it with a lot of swear-words.I wonder why talented actors like Ronet and Schneider agreed to make such a bomb;besides,the supporting actors do not "support" at all:Keigel's wife ,Simone Bach and Gabriele Tinti,sink into utterly ridiculous ham. The songs ,in English ("who are you" ) sung by a Dutch band ,Wallace Collection ,would nicely fit in a commercial for Martini.The critical reception was so disagreeable in France at the time ("a film made of brics,bracs and thingummies") that Keigel was not to made another movie before 1977.And it was his last one.
