When I first saw this film at Chapter Cardiff it reminded me of the old rave days. The music was spot on and the jerky camera angles and movement was real. You feel the crowd. When you look at the club scene you understand it is directed by a woman. She catches the way people interact. Elodie Bouchez's performance of the innocent protagonist stumbling across the Parisian dance scene reflects many first experiences of rave culture. It is gritty and amusing at the same time. The music sound track is a character in itself because of the familiar recognition of the tracks. Its ironic that the tracks have been used in Hollywood films when this film has been forgotten. (Not even available on dvd!)
