Either no nudity or evenly distributed nudity would've been an honest way to go.
There is a scene in a club where Floriane and Marie are dancing.
What follows next is not just Floriane cynically manipulating Marie;
it is film-maker Sciamma cynically manipulating her audience.
Perhaps the biggest betrayal of authenticity and organic honesty takes place when Floriane warns Marie she's about to request something that is "not normal."
Marie understandably asks, "Who cares about being normal?"
Then Sciamma plays false with her audience and the hurtling momentum of the movie, because Floriane's request is a phony, derivative and substitute question - not the authentic, heartfelt question the movie, Marie's character and the viewers who've invested their time deserve.
Here are also two moments which clank falsely on the viewer's nerves: 1) Since when do the French - of all people - take baths wearing bathing suits, and with a turtle to boot?
2) What teen - of any nationality - would chomp down on an apple core that's been thrown in the garbage in order to get a taste of the beloved's mouth?
The three main actresses are promising and, if they find better vehicles for their talents, may become excellent actors.
Louise Blachere (Anne) is the best actress in terms of technique and could have a successful career in supporting roles.
Adele Haenel (Floriane) could become a leading lady, or a bombshell, or both.
Pauline Acquart (Marie) possesses an intensity and magnetism which are unmistakable.
In the future, she could play everything from an emotionally crippled librarian to a mysteriously sensual seductress to a reluctant politician riding a meteoric rise in acclaim.
All in all, "Water Lilies" was very disappointing.
Will an honest film-maker please make an authentic movie about two young women falling in love!
No - not necessarily for the sake of this middle-aged guy - but so young lesbian girls can have something of quality they can watch and identify with.
And yes, to fill a subject matter gap in world cinema.
For anyone craving a remake of 1989's Slaves of New York.
What are there, seven of you?
Here it is...
was.
This undercooked movie has studiously vapid characters (Well they're club-kids, ya big jerk!) that are in holding patterns.
The big question seems to be, just how long can a young adult remain juvenile?
It took three people to write this 'story'?
Good god, it was easier to come up with Citizen Kane.
Rather than take viewers back, this movie should just embarrass anyone who was a scene-ster in the early 90s.
The idea that a fifty year old woman envies a bunch of self-absorbed kids from a different era is the world as only self-absorbed, twenty-somethings could imagine it.
The odd sidebar about library work is not the sub-plot one expects from the equivalent of Parker Posey's Breakin 2: Electric Bugaloo.
Her "I'm serious about graduate school!"
while a stripper grinds on her is hysterical.
Posey's shtick is always amusing, but there are projects that are beneath her.
I was asleep before it crossed the 40 minute mark.
Besides being boring, the scenes were oppressive and dark.
The movie tried to portray some kind of moral, but fell flat with its message.
What were the redeeming qualities??
On top of that, I don't think it could make librarians look any more unglamorous than it did.
For the first couple of seasons, I thought The Apprentice was a highly engaging and exciting show.
The combination between reality TV and a 16 week job-interview was innovative, and the producers of the show managed to keep the show relevant and not too "out there."
The new season 6 is nothing more than a big joke and it has absolutely nothing to do with business - at all.
In the earlier seasons they used to put a lot more emphasis on the business-related tasks - now the focus is mostly in the boardroom where the contestants are expected to do EVERYTHING to keep them on the show (that means lying, trash-talking, backstabbing etc.).
The boardroom can be entertaining to watch, but it's entertainment at it's low-point - Sometimes you wonder if you are watching a repeat of an old Jerry Springer episode.
The tasks on the show are, at most, boring and mostly a showcase for the companies who are dumb enough to pay NBC for the publicity.
And what is the deal about half of the contestants living in tents in season 6?
That is just plain stupid and has nothing to do with business in real-life.
I have absolutely NO respect for any of the contestants this season, they all seem like idiots to me.
In earlier seasons at least some of the contestants had a bit of integrity, now it seems like the contestants would kill their own mother to keep them on the show.
It also seems like Donald Trump's massive ego becomes bigger and bigger for every season that pass by and to be honest, I can't see why anyone with a common sense would want to work for him.
His rationality in the boardroom mostly doesn't make any sense at all and sometimes it seems he just like to trash people for what it's worth.
R.I.P The Apprentice.
Please NBC, for God's sake, get the show off the air as soon as possible.
It's just too embarrassing to watch.
The Apprentice was once a great TV-show, but now it's just a big fat joke.
I LOVED the Apprentice for the first two seasons.
But now with season 5?
(or is it 6?) things are getting just plain too tiring.
I used to like the show, but its become Donald Trumps own ego fest.
Granted its his company you'll be working for, but come on!
some of the things says "You're FIRED" is just insulting.
after watching the show, I would not want to work for him.
not because he is arrogant, pompous or such.
Its just that the show is unrealistic and the way he handles things makes me just squirm.
Good Entertainment?
YES, but tiring as the back stabbing gets so tiring..
its not team work, its not personal, its just business.
watch your back jack.
I bet you Gene Simmons and Vincent Pastore negotiated in advance how many episodes they would be willing to appear in.
Isn't just too contrived for Gene to switch to the ladies team and then throw himself on his sword?
And Big Pussy?
What the hell was that "look at me, I'm a rat!"
double episode crap?
All that cliché mafia banter- COME ON!
The big names voted off just happened to already have received money for their charity and got a custom tailored exit.
Hmm...
This is not reality but staged drama!
Mark Burnett's other show, "Survivor" also raised questions for me when Johnny Fairplay stages his departure when he clearly had just a short time before his child is to be born.
Yuk!
I can't stand most reality shows and this one is worst than the one with Paris Hilton, and sure it's his company.
But "you're fired" or "you're hired", for how many seasons now?
After watching the show I wouldn't want to work for the guy with his ego and all and I think watching paint dry has more entertainment valve.
I'd love to hear just one person get up and say "Donald I quit and take some of your money and buy a decent hairdo."
I see he's even trying to buy fame in the wrestling WWE.
I hope he gets hurt so I don't have to see his pathetic face anymore.
It must be sad to want fame so bad and have no talent and make an ass of yourself trying to buy it.
I'd give this show a negative mark if I could but it gets a 1 and it doesn't deserve that.
One has to wonder if at any point in the production of this film a script existed that made any sense.
Was the rough cut 3 hours long and was it trimmed into the incoherent mess that survives?
Why would anyone finance this mess?
I will say that Tom Wlaschiha is a good looking young man and he does what he can with the dialogue and dramatic (?) situations he is given.
But characters come and go for no apparent reason, continuity is non-existent, and the acting, cinematography, and direction are (to put it politely) amateurish.
Not One Sleeps is an unfortunate choice of title as it will probably prove untrue should anyone actually attempt to actually watch this film.
Jochen Hick wrote and directed this little thriller of a suspense film based on the concept that the AIDS virus was a sheep virus mutated by the government to rid the world of gays and was apparently tested on convicts in the years before the outbreak of the hideous disease.
Were it not for the poignancy of the concept of the film, this would fall into the category of the many films about the ruination of the world by a rampant non-prejudicial infective organism.
Stefan (Tom Wlaschiha) journeys from Berlin to San Francisco to investigate his father's scientific suppositions about the induced sheep virus and its effects of the convicts in whom it was infused.
He meets with some disdain and resistance to a dead theory, but also encounters some folks who know of the theory and support his investigation.
Simultaneously with his visit a series of serial murders takes place, each victim killed in a similar manner and each murder apparently accompanied by strains of music from Puccini's opera 'Turandot' which just happens to be opening at the San Francisco Opera.
A police investigator Louise Tolliver (Irit Levi) and her companion cop (Kalene Parker) follow the murders while Stefan makes the rounds of the sex clubs and bars in San Francisco trying to locate men who may have been guinea pigs for his father's theory.
He encounters a strange lad Jeffrey (Jim Thalman) with whom he has a cat and mouse attraction and a prominent Doctor Burroughs (Richard Conti) who seems oddly involved in the cast of suspects.
How this all come to an end is the play of the film, a story as much about the search for self identity between Stefan and Jeffery as it is a case for investigation of murders.
While Tom Wlaschiha, Jim Thalman and Richard Conti do well with their roles (they are the only three who have any prior acting experience in the film!), the quality of the film sags considerably by the less than acceptable minimally talented Irit Levy and Kaylene Parker: when on screen the credibility of the story drops below zero.

Either no nudity or evenly distributed nudity would've been an honest way to go.
