for all frustrated writers, 24 July 2002
8/10
Author: jimi99 from denver

What I got most out of this film was the Impulse to create and how it wars with the Need to procreate. Certainly Harry "Dick" was someone Michel could have dreamed up to entertain himself on a nearly unbearable hot & noisy road trip with his not so affectionate wife and his 3 too-beautiful and also not so affectionate daughters, and the subsequent "vacation" with them in a remote farmhouse that he is not too enthusiastically restoring. A masculine dream man is Harry, heterosexually vital, a wealthy man, and a man who lives out his most primal impulses in the name of love & friendship. Maybe even a mastermind albeit one who can never be perfect. As a somewhat thwarted writer myself, I saw this movie on one level as a fantasy, and on another as something akin to "Buffet Froid" or "Cul de Sac" (though not nearly as funny or surreal) or as other reviewers commented, to "Strangers on a Train" and "Something Wild." And as a call for all creative urges everywhere, I applaud Harry either as a figment or an all-too-real controlled psycho...
