More French toss in the cinema

More French toss in the cinema, I don’t know why I still see go and see French films. Les Diables is the latest piece of shocking French cinema trying to titilate and teach us big things. Except the portrayal of an autistic girl is all wrong, wavering from tantrum to idiocy (and you don’t fool me with your backward spooling works of idiot savantary). Except incest is not incest when we are told that the lead characters are not actually brother and sister. Except the whole thing is thoroughly implausible. The kids do a nice act of being devilish but in the end the film has so many tonal shifts (is it fantasy, is it reality, is it interesting - no) that you do not care when a policeman SHOOTS A CHILD FOR RUNNING AWAY!
