Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Can someone tell me where I can get this with English Subtitles? I can understand a bit of what is going on and this is really good. I think the filming was even cool.

A Marvell movie full of intrigue. The acting is superb - so much so I forgot I was reading subtitles. One of the best movies I have seen in a while with a charming, wry sense of the ridiculous. Overtones of Bulgarkov's 'The Master and Marguerita'. This is one of those movies that you watch helplessly as the characters lurch from one improbable scenario to the next and you almost shout pantomime like as you watch each catastrophe unfold.As other people have commented, I have not seen many of these actors before and am keen to find other movies with these actors in them. A great movie and quite a surprise. Highly recommended.
I saw Bastien's arc of him turning against Mr. Broustal coming. In the end, he is a tragic character, likewise for Broustal's woman. What I didn't see coming where the hilarious and suspenseful complications in the plot as that arc would start to materialize. Nice closing animated sequence - symbolic and lets us decide the meaning after Broustal lectures Bastien on what POWER really is. Oh, so the tape did get him it would seem. A dark comedy filled with innuendos, not for those who are easily offended. Want to touch? says the lady when they are getting a tan.8/10
Guillaume Canet is a talented (I think... I actually didn't see a lot of movies where he stared) youg actor who decided to write and direct his own movie : "mon idole" (my idol). The result is a quite good little movie where the audience is never exactly sure of what will come next. Watching this I thought of movies such as Claude Chabrol's (like his "inspecteur lavardin" serie) but also some from Jean-Pierre Mocky. The main character is under pressure and so are we, there is definitly something here. Only lacks the moments when Broustal (the boss) could be seducing, could justify to be... an idol. The cast is great.
