Movie Review - How much do you Love me?
Rating: ****
(Subtitles in English)
An ordinary Frenchman named Francois (Bernard Campan) enters a brothel in the Pigalle District of Paris. He meets voluptuous prostitute Daniela (Monica Bellucci) and tells her about his recent win in the lottery. He offers her 100,000 euros per month to live with him until his money runs out. Daniela agrees and Francois goes about wooing his sex Goddess despite a bad heart condition. What he doesn't know is that Daniela has a bad-ass gangster boyfriend who is fond of waving his gun around.
The director Bertrand Blier likes to shock his audiences and delivers in this film. My favourite part of the film is reminiscent of "When Harry met Sally" (but I won't give it away). It also has elements of "Indecent Proposal" thrown into the mix with superb acting and an unusual musical backing. All round, this loopy little love fest is refreshing and enjoyable.
