Bertrand Blier is definitely always filming unconventional movies and this one is using love, sickness and somehow solitude as central topics with a good trio of actors (I want to put Anne Alvaro at the same level than Dujardin and Dupontel) putting the scene in a dramatic set up.

The idea of having death played by a character is not new but still very good. It is certainly difficult to master and could have easily been a disaster, but Tavernier made a masterpiece of it.

The actors performances are truly outstanding, Dupontel is especially brilliant, and the whole thing is an UFO in the movie industry. It plays between sadness, black humor, comedy but remains always deep, intimate and clever.

If people you love have died recently you will be touched. No doubt.

Now that I have seen this movie I remember the other movies I have seen from him, and the fact is that they are unconventional. I am already downloading older movies from him, I guess that I will enjoy them as well.

The movie has no computer effects, very few actors, only one location and demonstrate what is necessary for a good movie. Talent.

This movie is an absolute must see.

opening scene : "Hello" "who's ringing?" "I am your cancer, open the door"

the movie is handling very well a touchy subject (cancer and coming of the death). The dialog are original, and to represent its death by a character is a a very good idea. Nothing morbid at the same time. A few character (6 people all in all),very inti mist.

Many scenes/details are metaphoric, each one of us may a his interpretation. Very subtle, I liked it very much. Very well played, especially by jean dujardin and dupontel.

Movie's duration is fine (1h27) and the end is quick but it wasn't necessary to last Long.

A good movie, very original. worth to see it. I recommend ++.
