I had high hopes for this when I hired the DVD. Superbly packaged in a double DVD case. A whole disc of extras came with it. Review quotes praising it were also on the case.Seemed to have some great actors in it that I liked.Oh dear!!! PDL is just plain rotten. It is one of those so called 'arty' movies that have odd camera angles, weird music, metaphors by the dozen. Yes,once again it is all style and no substance. A plot might have made a difference or perhaps some plausible dialogue at least. You can see where it wants to be funny but fails miserably. PDL is one almighty belly-flop of a movie. Apparently it was well received in France. No surprise there.The French have churned out merde like this for years. The cast do try hard but are largely wasted with such material as this.The bonus disc was not touched by me at all as I did not care in the least what was on it.'Enough'is a word that entered my head.
