La Fièvre au corps

A very ingeniously constructed thriller. Kathleen Turner is every bit the equal of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. She plays a bitch so cunning and heartless it's chilling. The film's conclusion is indeed "optimistic". As life itself :) (01/06/2002)

A quality crime thriller in the style of the neo-noir genre, which relies mainly on a sophisticated script and the attractive face of femme fatale Kathleen Turner. It has perhaps one major flaw, and that is its pace, which at times resembles a snail on a stroll. Nevertheless, Kathleen truly looks like a textbook vamp in her film debut and thus foreshadows the huge wave of popularity she gained in the United States and around the world in the 80s. It is precisely for her and for the final scene of the film, which deviates from the usual Hollywood happy endings, that I give it 4 stars. Overall impression: 70%. (17/08/2013)

Somehow, this film didn't grab me as it should have. I love noir films, but with this one, I simply had a feeling that it was more of an erotic thriller, which is probably one of the reasons that bothered me a bit. However, overall it is a good movie with a well-developed screenplay, where you will believe the overall plot development, which is still surprising. (27/11/2015)
