“A strong analogy with William Wyleru0026#39;s masterful u0026quot;the collectoru0026quot; (1965).But u0026quot;la drôlesseu0026quot; is a good movie on its own,probably Jacques Doillonu0026#39;s finest hour.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFrançois,a hung-up young man,locks up Madeleine ,a teenage girl ,in an attic.François is an outcast,unable to integrate well into a society. Here begins a u0026quot;in Camerau0026quot; drama ,with a subtle development.Soon ,we do not know anymore who the prisoner is and who the jailer is.An inhibited person,François is completely baffled when Madeleine tells him that she wants to be pregnant by him.As some critics noticed when the movie was released ,the keyword is u0026quot;gamesu0026quot;.The two characters seem to play dad and daughter ,dad and mom ,and so on….u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMadeleine Desdevises,who was very promising,died from leukemia shortly afterwards.”
