Lemming (2005)
This is a film of two Charlottes. Without their presence, this psycho-thriller would be of no interest to me. The french-German director Dominik Moll previously made With a Friend Like Harry (2000). I recall this an equally strange but good movie. Charlotte Gainsbourg is wonderful to watch as the young wife whose engineer husband is attempting to socialize with the boss. Charlotte Rampling is the sour suicidal older wife of the philandering boss. A crazy dreamlike scenario unfolds. Yes, there are lemmings. When the young couple discover this native Scandanavian rodent clogging the drain of their Paris apartment, mysteries are set in motion. If you have ever experienced the slightest invasion of rodents into the home, there is one scene that will make you want to stop the movie. Keep in mind that this story begins on an ordinary note, but quickly becomes theater of the absurd.
