Le Douxieme Souffle

Unfortunately, I don’t have anything good to say about the Gala premiere of “Le Douxieme Souffle” starring Monica Bellucci. Like Bellucci, who was visibly forced to speak at the film’s introduction, I’ll echo her comment with, “I have nothing to say about this film.” When your leading lady offers that up, there isn’t much hope.

A 1960s film noir throwback, the film was all over the place and slow as can be. Audience members started walking out 30 minutes in. I hate to admit it, but I too left at the 1 hour mark, unable to sit through the remaining 90 minutes. Oh well. At least they were free tickets thanks to friends at TIFF so I wasn’t out anything other than time and perhaps a better film screening.
