Eden

It's been quite a while since we've seen a real piece of crap, this isn't the nastiest thing ever, but it's pretty darn poor.
The camerawork is incredibly obvious, with banal shots flicking backward and forthward at lengths of no interest.
This is visually dull, with the same shots of Gregoire at the table, eating, bit of emotion close up, blah blah blah.
There are, added to this a few straightforward bad moves from scene to scene, some bad cuts that get the view of the scene all wrong. We are left hanging, the last one ended wrongly.
The acting and the relationships have a kind of crappy unnaturalism, the lead has too much make-up, it is almsot laughable how certain things just happen wierdly. The script is a mixture of actors explaining bits of the contrived story (one especially funny explanation in the park).
The acting is rather cardboard, unbelievable. It is simply of no interest. The relationship, along with the situations and th general plot structure, is cliched beyond redemption. Even the 'surprises' add little.
This isn't the worst film ever, we have been a little cruel perhaps, in certain ways it is not all that different from the kind of fare that generally packs into most French, Italian, and Spanish cinema. It plinks along, there's one good joke, and it wasn't, as a whole, particularly boring. Just not very good; even rather bad.
