I am yours'' and fellow critic Chatwick-West (Michel Piccolo - Belle de Jour, Le Mepris) berates him for his flippancy. Meanwhile the beautiful, young and neurotic Aurelie (valentina Cervi - Artemisia) takes her clothes off in front of him.

Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Rien sur Robert is a smart comedy about a man haunted by his experiences. Didier Temple (Fabrice Luchini) is a journalist who writes an article about a Bosnian film he had never seen, calling it "pure fascist propaganda." (The director, Pascal Bonitzer, was once the editor of the celebrated film magazine Cahiers du Cinema. However, this episode is not based on his own experiences, but on an incident some years ago regarding Underground by Emir Kusturica, which was declared a fascist movie by the French daily, Le Monde.) Following an argument with his girlfriend, Juliette (Sandrine Kiberlain), Didier's life falls apart. He is convinced he is being followed by a dark haired man. He thinks everyone is looking at him, just waiting to insult him. He fights with his family. Juliette is fed up and leaves him for another man, a TV director she meets in a park. At a dinner party, Didier is introduced to his shadow, Jerome Sauveur (Laurent Lucas), who could be his double except that he's more handsome and writes better. Didier also encounters a strange young girl, Aurelie (Valentina Cervi), but Juliette soon comes back. All these ghosts of his life keep haunting him, and he finally winds up at the foot of Mont Blanc in rather unpleasant circumstances. Rien sur Robert was screened as part of the Panorama section of the 49th Berlin International Film Festival, 1999. ...Nothing About Robert ( Rien sur Robert )

This film in a couple of places does go further in vulgarity than I would have liked but I've seen plenty of French films that are worse in that respect. My main gripe is that the rather obtrusive subtitles are not optional
In its favour, I have to say that I found it interesting and enjoyable. The script is sharp, though that may not come over if you can't follow the French, it's witty and it's very well acted. If you like a dark Woody Allen sex comedy, you'll probably like this.

Two excellent actors/actress in a vulgar plot. At times this film is unnecessarily vile and unimpressed. Very Disappointed.
