Synopsis

A young pizza-deliverer, Andréa, introduces Laure, a 20 year old girl he barely knows, to his friend David, a wealthy layabout who is looking for models for his porn photo agency. Eager for an easy escape from her dull life, Laure agrees to attend an audition with David’s boss, who proposes that she appears in hard core porn videos.

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
lamegabyte I first notice her in the movie La Beuze in which she shows funny kissing skills. Then, recently i just picked her glamour pictures for her 12th Marrakech International Film Festival Photocall in 2012 and it's the instant hard-on : this fine brunette wears a exciting see trough with black leather jacket, full red lips on a red carpet ! In addition, i notice that she is again a look alike of my famous coworker who was already the inspiration for Crystal Klein (#39), Laure Sinclair (#43), Rebecca Hall (#75), Jade Nile (#89) and the one shot [12] Nomi Malone ! Sure you will tell me that they are all different but that is the proof that feminine beauty has multiples angles…Here, Zoe plays a no feeling, opportunist model who does cheap erotic photos and who is offered better opportunities by making adult movies. As it's a french drama, the story is the expected treatment : drugs, bad deals, exploitation… At the end, it's a tragic, bloody shoot them up… It's very limited, as dull as Zoé tells it too, but the cast is cool with Romain, Maginel and real porn-stars (i have recognized Olivia (#79) but not Laure). As for Zoe, she exposes her cleavage for a few seconds only and dressed not sexy! So it's not really hot but you can watch it if nothing else, all the more it happens in Nice that is indeed a real jewel city ! NB : the movie opens on the 14th July and when you see the big crowd everywhere, you still wonder as a French how a mad truck could go there years later with all security forces on alert ????
PoppyTransfusion That's what all the characters, with the exception of Andrea, are - dead, emotionally; as one of them says 'I'm like a dry river bed'. A group of young men with a penchant for drugs, girls and parties decide to try and break into the heavily controlled pornography industry in Nice with a cynical ingénue called Laure as their main product. The film charts the disintegration of all the characters as drugs, guns, sexual excess and the pornographic industry take their toll on each life. Even Andrea, the film's conscience, is eventually consumed by this world and its trappings.Laure is a commodity amongst all the men except Andrea, the guy who unwittingly introduces her to the other when they are dabbling in soft porn photography. Laure, described as 'purity in a brutal world', is used as the film's narrator to reflect on life. Her reflections are frequently accompanied by repeated visuals of her removing make-up after the making of one particular pornographic film that we are left knowing is destroying Laure.This film is a critique of pornography's production and the feckless upper (middle) class of Nice who have money and influence enough to seduce and take advantage of those vulnerable with ambition and aspiration, such as Laure. It is most certainly not a film noir and it is really bizarre that it has been described as such by others. The director critiques the belief that 'straight or porn {films}, the camera's the same' and Laure's naive belief that posing topless is no different from making a pornographic film. It is and the camera of a porn film does not treat its actors well. The women of the porn industry want to make it as mainstream actresses or like Laure be a big name, someone significant. Their expectations of achieving this through porn are disappointed.Early on Laure asks: 'isn't fate the assertion that the game is up?' The ending has an inevitability that seems fated as life calls time on the game the characters play. The concluding events whilst unsurprising are still brutal and shocking.
marxisdead After reading a comment here, on IMDb, I was expecting a film Noir. Now, I don't exactly know why that person thought that this was Noir, but really, I can't find any element in the whole movie that could fit it in that category. I felt like I was like a French, cheap version of Requiem for a dream. Except for the fact that, in Déjà Mort, the main male caracter is a total idiot that seem only capable of doing one thing : ruining other people's life and/or kill them. SPOILER : the worst part of it all is the fact that he is just about the only one who doesn't die at the end, something I had been expecting...
edouard_verhelst Although the girl thinks she is the one who makes the decisions in her live it is fate that is in control. More so if drugs are involved.This film shows us that often it are the most honest of young people that can get trapped because they want to be part of the swinging live. They become too late aware that it is all make believe.
