Review of À boire

À boire (2004)
2/10
weird alcoholic movie
9 January 2005
the cast bodes well. Emmanuelle Beart is one of the finest French actress of the pas decades and appearances from Jacky Berroyer are always crowd favourites. However the movie misses the point. by a mile.

Set in a French ski resort (Avoriaz?), 3 lost characters are on the edge of losing the plot. So was I. Alcohol is the main topic and is recurrent throughout the movie,from drunken parties to lonely sips.

Emmanuelle Beart stars as a lost bimbo, close from prostitution in the little microcosm of the resort. The comedy comes solely when the supporting cast comes along, but altogether to rarely to categorize the movie as such. In the end I felt confused, as the movie seems to lose its focus, just like a drunk. Maybe that was the aim. If it was, that was lost on me...
