    One of the oddest, most perplexing -- and delightful -- films to come along this year. And last year, too.

    The line between cinematic art and exploitation has rarely seemed finer and nervier, at least in recent memory, than in the French film Innocence.

    This is the weirdest film I've seen all year, or at least the weirdest good film. It's also among the most powerful.

    Don't watch this film. It's 2 hours of your life that you'll never get back. Through the whole film I kept expecting something to happen and absolutly NOTHING does. What a waste of time!… Expand
