Review
This sixth collaboration of actor Jean-Paul Belmondo and director Philippe de Broca is
one to be avoided at all costs. De Broca’s imagination and energy have clearly been
depleted by this stage in his career, although it would take an army of Fellinis to make
anything special of the trite nonsense that masquerades as a screenplay. Add to
that a distinctly lacklustre performance from Belmondo and a hypoactive Arielle Dombasle
at her most painfully annoying (she’s obviously auditioning for a job as a presenter on
childen’s TV) and what you get is very probably the most excruciatingly bad piece of “family
entertainment” for centuries.

Jewel thief Edouard takes refuge from the authorities and womenfolk in the Amazonian
forest, but his peace is soon disturbed by the appearance of a strange young girl, Lulu.
Intelligent way beyond her years, Lulu reveals that she is an extra-terrestrial – a fact

Unfortuantely, Lulu has forgotten to bring with her the anti-ageing pills which keep her
young. Within a matter of hours, she will have aged to death…
