Product Description
Pierre and Lucie are siblings who feel as though their bodies are two halves of a whole. They share everything, from their time spent away from home to their sexual conquests amongst friends. When they are not discussing the emotions they share, they play in their rock band, go to clubs, get drunk, and share their bodies amongst a close-knit group of male friends. As adolescent urges and hormonal impulses reach boiling point, tensions begin to fray. One day, Pierre does not come home. With Lucie growing ever more desperate to find him, and rumours of a crime circulating, she decides to take matters into her own hands, using her new found sexual prowess to try to obtain answers in a perverse microcosm of a teen society that has until now remained out of sight, out of mind.

You won't have seen a film quite like 'One Two Another'. It blends much of the nouvelle vague style philosophising of hot young kids with a more contemporary and edgier story about a mysterious murder. The performances are excellent, especially lead actress Lizzie Brochere as the sultry and sexually promiscuous Lucie. A lovely and very original, at times beyond quirky, little film that actually improved on repeat viewing (the narrative path is not a conventional one).
I got a preview copy hot off the press from a friend who is a journalist. I already had the US version but this one is much better. The menus are funky, melding soft-focus images of the frolicking kids with an intriguing soundtrack. You also get two interviews with the cast, one is with Pascal Arnold and Lizzie in the countryside lounging against a tree and talking about the movie, it lasts about 10 minutes, then there's another with the two boys Pierre Perrier and Arthur Dupont with Jean Marc Barr in what looks like a hotel room, this also lasts about ten minutes. Oh yes and there's a behind the scenes gallery which is rather cute.
Highly recommended!

As a fan of French cinema, Jean-Marc Barr's "One to Another" (French, English subtitles) is a treat: complex emotions, ambiguous sexuality, the darkest human passions, stylistic manipulations - it's all there.
20-something brother and sister, Pierre and Lucie, are the centre of a group of five friends in a rural French town. Pierre (the stunning Arthur Dupont) is the glue...his draws the group (Lucie and their three males friends) together, as he nonchalantly seduces each of them (literally and/or emotionally) with his charismatic, dominating personality and raw sexuality. Not content with such a limited audience, Pierre - the eternal nihilistic showman - also toys with closeted older men from the town with his sexual shenanigans.
At the outset, we learn that Pierre has been brutally murdered...the film then alternates between present time and flashbacks to the past, as the friends deal with their memories and emotions in the course of attempting to unmask Pierre's murderer. The final denouement comes as something of a surprise - though, with hindsight, it arrives as the natural, intense culmination of events.
Pierre's erotic magnetism powerfully translates through the screen, as his beautiful yet tragic flaws elicit in the viewer a vast array of passions. Liberal helpings of male nudity and sex, combined with volatile emotions (and some beautiful young actors) make "One to Another" an enthralling watch. Despite the thriller/whodunnit plot, the film easily bears multiple viewings. Highly recommended.

I perhaps would have followed the film more easily if I have realised that it was based on a true story. As it was, the continual flashbacks made it a bit difficult to follow. Also, there is no sense of closure, in so far as the film neither gives, nor offers, any explanation for the events which it depicts. Like so many films based on actual events, one wonders whether the film was merely taking advantage of the inevitable curiosity which accompanies horrendous murders.
