"provocative" - detour

the thickets of human desire are staples of the movie experience, but "dry cleaning", an exceptional new french film, explores them with unusual insight, empathy and daring. "dry cleaning" mesmerizes with its ability to be both explicit and ambiguous, candid and restrained. fontaine is helped enormously by a cast that includes charles berling ("ridicule"), newcomer stanislav merhar and the luminous miou-miou (bertrand biler's "going places" and diane kury' "entre nous" among others). berling and miou-miou play jean-marie and nicole kunstler, a hard-working french couple who run a dry-cleaning establishment in the provincial town of belfort. there is frission, the whiff of excitement that clings to the danger of crossing the boundaries that seperate the conventional from the forbidden, and "dry cleaning" manages to adroitly tantalize the audience as much as its characters."
