Rich, bisexual Thomas makes his way through a swath of lovers of both sexes in Paris. His parents have died, and he doesn't have to work to earn a living, so his days are bacchanalia-filled affairs that run into each other in a hazy bliss. The only one capable of eking out genuine affection from him is his neighbor, Caroline. When she dies and leaves her son in his care, Thomas learns the joys of commitment and selflessness.

Alicia I love this movie so much
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
fl1 You could watch this film just for the eye candy, or for the literary quotations, or for the art exhibits; but don't expect soft porn or high poetry, you won't find such excitements. Most of the time the scenes are too dark anyway.I think this is a story of continuous meaningless deaths, of people who get bonded by them, of incompatible relations, and of desperate attempts to make sense of all this.Two orphans are in love, but live and have sex with others; two sex dates love him but are not loved back. When a kid loves him as a father, and is loved back, everyone makes their choices at last, but the solution is too good to be true...
mccarthyos The story is about a stupidly indulgent young man who is virtually inured to the pain of those who love him simply because he will not grow up. The acting is excellent, the boy playing Greg is particularly good. However, the endless cigarette smoking (surely even the French don't light up as often as the leads in his film) is exasperating in this frustrating and often tedious film. Unless the audience has considerable sympathy for characters like Thomas, the time spent watching the film is wasted. Watching attractive people with their whole lives in front of them drink, sniff coke and generally over indulge themselves is boring, boring, boring. Even the ambiguous ending offers little in the way of hope or redemption.
Hunky Stud This movie is so boring. It has this handsome guy on its DVD cover, but the main character is not the same guy at all! This movie is too long. And it is not coherent. Some of the scenes don't even make sense. For example, at the end of the movie, why did the girl have to run fast down hill then felled from the mountain? The policemen were just watching them, they were not chasing the girl.The photographer is also bad, s/he can't even hold the camera steady, you can see the pictures shaking, which is hard to watch.I spent the first hour watching it, but at the end, I just can't waste any more time on it. It is so meaningless. It has nothing exciting. And worst, its story is not even flowing smoothly.
ef11-1 this movie is really an independant movie! we can think at Gus van sant or Larry clark it is a very interesting way to talk about our society, parents from the end of the sixteen, love etc... i think you love that kind of movie or you hate it cause it's really unconventional and original but certainly not a bad hollywood pop corn movie!!!! franck
