Poor little rich girl
Summary
Boring uninteresting rich people in a bubbleFull review
Ridiculous characters, self centred and not engaged with reality. Filmed in a languid style - lingering shots, swelling music (Tritan & Isolde excerpts), luxuriant setting.
Strong echoes of Alain Resnais Last Year in Marienbad with its existential theme, this one is if anything more tedious and vacuous.
