A short story about a couple of privileged young hippies wanting to be part of the French youth revolt while also exploring sexuality and the experience of becoming an adult. The plot is rather flat and only twists when either of the twins comes up with another crazy idea. The upper class hippies and their lifestyle reminded me of my own youth. I used to know and hang out with similar people, and at times, I felt just as confused as Matthew.

Eva Green is perfect in her role. She is without a doubt a French beauty, and she plays crazy with a high level of confidence. Michael Pitt and Louis Garrel also do a pretty decent job in their roles. Those three more or less make up the entire cast for most of the movie.

I would have rated the movie higher if the story had more to it. The moral is either too lowbrow or simply nonexistent. But if you want to watch a movie showing a lot of Eva Green in various stages of undress, this is without a doubt a hit for you. I give it seven out of ten.
