Dites-Lui Que Je L'Aime Movie Review

Dites-Lui Que Je L'Aime is a disappointing second film by Claude Miller, who made such a promising debut with 1976's The Best Way. Dites-Lui… seems to have been crafted by a self-indulgent film student. Based on a Patricia Highsmith novel, the plot revolves around a completely unsympathetic accountant (listlessly played by Gerard Depardieu), who pursues former girlfriend Dominique Laffin, now a married mother. Meanwhile, gorgeous masochist Miou-Miou pursues Depardieu, and a married drip subsequently pursues Miou-Miou. For 107 minutes, all the characters throw each other around and yell a lot. The best moment occurs when Gerard Depardieu kicks in a television set while Paul Anka is singing, which gives you some idea how droll the rest of this flick is. AKA:This Sweet Sickness; Tell Her I Love Her.
