What happens when a sexually precocious man and his independent, adventurous girlfriend decide to invite a third party into their relationship to spice it up? The answer would be, jealousy, arguments, a heck of a lot of singing, and a tragic death VERY early into the film that changes the character's whole perspective on live and love.
The singing is really unnecessary and I don't think there were any stand out songs. The actors are just that - actors. And making them sing (especially the main bloke who is as tone deaf as a cat trapped in a washing machine) is just a horrible experience. He's also quite a smarmy, unlikeable character which got on my wick no end. This isn't Moulin Rouge for gawd's sake, and trying to pretend it is just insults everyone involved in making the film. The only one with any singing ability is Ludivine Sagnier, but the songs don't emphasise or showcase her voice at all. Added to which, the film itself is incredibly mournful overall, and makes you feel completely deflated by the time you've finished watching it.
