synopsis
Once upon a time in the suburbs, there lived a teenager named Alice. A pretty girl who liked to play games. Games of seduction. Games of violence. One day Alice decided to kill Said, a handsome and cocky classmate, so she manipulated her naive boyfriend Luc into committing the cold-blooded crime as proof of his love. Alice thought that she had carefully planned everything. But a life of true crime can be filled with so many difficulties. Alice and Luc went to the forest to dispose of Said's body. Once their work was done, Alice and Luc noticed they were lost. Luckily, they found a rowboat on a stream. But it only carried them deeper into nowhere. Poor Alice and Luc. Cold, hungry and all alone. And everyone knows that the woods are filled with traps for careless young rabbits. Happily, they stumble onto a quaint little cabin inhabited by a lone woodsman. But Alice and Luc didn't realize they were about to discover that life is not a fairy tale at all...
Other reviews
French writer-director François Ozon ("Sitcom") initially puts a fresh spin on the familiar lovers-on-the-lam genre with the film's unpredictable first section, but his unsympathetic portrayal of Alice increasingly distances the audience from the criminal duo's plight. The offbeat sexualities he explores are interesting as psychological cases, but don't have much emotional resonance. On a more positive note, the film's simple but arresting visual style effectively plays the tranquil forest
