When you saw his first movie, in France, LES DIMANCHES DE VILLE D'AVRAY, and you watch this film, it is very hard to compare and say that the director is the same. Poor man, I think this topic, this story was definitely not for him. The film had a great potential, yes, but not for such a sensitive director, no matter he is French or not, that's not the point. The directing is tasteless and could have been monitored by anyone in Hollywood. I would have preferred him to direct a true drama, or why not a film noir....Not a western....imagine Jean Luc Goddard making a peplum or a science fiction movie?
