The disappointing charm of the bourgeoisie - The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie review by PT

Spoiler Alert
02/09/2016

not what I expected. The concept is good(IE Differant tales from each character), the acting OK, the voice dubbing poor and the disconnection between the episodes detracted from the film. Altogether, a poor film in my opinion
