I'm pretty convinced this was a ploy from John Turturro to put his dick in Audrey Tautou's mouth. Serious contender for worst movie of all time, tone, acting, purpose, everything is out of place and disgusting in this movie. Which might be volontary because it's based on an out of place and disgusting character from TBLebowski. I can only think it attempted to replicacted french classical movie "Going Places" https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Valseuses.
But why ?
The purpose of the original movie was that those characters were free, ideals and romantics. Is Turturro trying to judge them by reincarnating them as pedophiles and assholes? I just don't fucking know why. Why is Tautou in this ? I would have thought she'd be in support of french romantic culture from the 70's, considering that's probably a decent part of her upbringing.
It might be a critique of it. Closing the page on this era. But who needed to close that fucking page ? It seems like a pretentious attempt by Turturro to make a genre defining genre movie (no typing error here).
Consequently, here we have the most depressing and disgusting movie I have ever seen. It kind of disgusted me of sex for a while. Of life actually. It's unbearably awful, and this awfulness might have been the goal of it. But fuck me, why pick the rapist from The Big Lebowski for this ?
