À ton image
2004 Drama / Sci-Fi / Thriller   

 

Review
For her first full length film, Aruna Villiers chooses a subject that is highly topical – the risks and morality of using cloning techniques to achieve a human pregnancy.   Unfortunately, instead of treating the subject seriously, she uses it as the pretext for the most hideous spectacle of artistic self-indulgence.  À ton image looks more like an extended 1990s pop video (without music) than a serious piece of cinema.  It is hard to know which is worse – the film’s childish and insincere presentation, its atrocious screenplay or the most appalling performances.  The whole thing is just too grotesque and vacuous to be taken seriously.
