Just as America has several overrated, overhyped directors, Tarantino & Wes Anderson for example, while France has Ovidie, prominent for a couple of decades but with little to show for it. This effort for Canal Plus received export (Breaking Glass, a tiffany distributor) runs only an hour-plus it seems interminable (Endless, per its title).
At best, it resembles those uncommercial New Wave movies the best of which were made by a talent -Jean Eustache, but which require a leap of faith to watch. That's because they're intrinsically uncinematic, static and talky.
Ovidie frames her action around two boring conceits: the heroine Lucie Blush, a slight, plain (but tattooed) actress who doesn't even qualify as a gamine, waking up after an all-night bender with no recollection of what happened, and Lucie chatting with a pal Anna Siline on a couch, with a vast number of brief flashbacks (including utterly pointless sex scenes) interjected. Conclusion is presented as a surprise, but unexciting.
This is a case of loose ends = mysteries, completely unsatisfying. Why invest interest in non-characters of so little appeal. Their fates, especially the heroine's, are meaningless in what is merely a pretentious XXX exercise.
The sex is particularly poor, mainly blow-jobs except for anal sex by redhead Emy Russo, one of the name talents mixed in with nonentitites. A couple of cum shots are so poorly exceucted/photographed as to be nearly invisible.
Acting is sleepwalking, and only visual interest is meager dream effects, such as male characters in cocooned costumes right out of the fetish playbook.
