5.0 out of 5 stars just right
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2007
I enjoyed this quite a lot. The cast is uniformly excellent: in particular, Charlotte Rampling, who is not in the film all that much, makes a strong impression and the lead Laurent Lucas does a great job as a man trying to wade through a series of bizarre incidents that wind up blasting a huge hole in the veneer of pleasant bourgeois success that is his life and relationship with Charlotte Gainsbourg. Lucas is not always the easiest actor to connect with but that reserved and distant quality serves this particular film very well. The script has some nice twists and turns and gets at some fundamental questions about how, despite one's best efforts to control one's life and environment through ritual and rules and containment, things are by nature precariously balanced and always potentially in jeopardy of collapse. It's also pretty funny and should appeal to people with an appropriately dark sense of humor.

Several reviewers have commented that the second half of the film disappointed them; I did not find such a fall off myself and thought the narrative went in the right direction and resolved itself quite satisfyingly. If you have a fondness for that strange feeling of unease that can come over you in those sorts of thrillers where a dreamlike quality of unpredictability directs the proceedings, you should try this one out. It's well conceived, smartly executed, well directed, and well acted.

4.0 out of 5 stars A methaphysical thriller with the great Charlotte Rampling
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2007
Verified Purchase
If there is an influence in this attractive film by Dominik Moll it's Edgar Allan Poe and Edward Albee, rather than Alfred Hitchcock. Revealing more about the Poe influence would spoil the film, but it will be clear to anybody when they finish watching.

All in all, this is a strong effort by Dominik Moll, who directed the similarly intriguing "With a Friend Like Harry".

That was a superior, probably near great film. Lemming is a very good one, and anyone entering it should be warned that this is not a conventional thriller, but rather something of a metaphysical puzzle, with very malignant undertones and ominous happenings (like the disturbing appearance of the creature which gives the film its name).

In less able hands, the film could border on the cliched and the pretentious, but Moll knows how to weave a compelling story with appropiately eerie touches. At every step of the way, a most disturbing surprise arises, and there is no peace for the young middle class couple (Laurent Lucas and Charlotte Gainsbourgh) unexpectedly assaulted by the chaotic life of a much older and sinister couple, played by Andre Dussolier and Charlotte Rampling.

The film is greatly helped by the presence of the great Rampling, in full bitch goddess mode. Although her appearance is relatively brief, she is the ravaged, brutal, mysterious heart of this film.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Furry One

You know that there is going to be trouble when Charlotte Rampling as Alice, wife of Andre (Richard Pollock) walks...no dangerously slides into the home of Alain Getty (Laurent Lucas) and his wife Bénédicte (Charlotte Gainsbourg): dark sunglasses perched on her patrician nose, hands in her pocket, mouth in a snarl and nose literally up in the air. Though she doesn't say it, you know she is thinking: "So this is how the other half lives. Huh?"
Andre is Alain's boss so both he and Bénédicte are on their best behavior but Alice doesn't adhere to the niceties of social behavior as she (Charlotte Rampling), whose sparing but provocative venting cuts the evening short as before long she hurls a glass of red wine into Andre's face: so much for a quiet, serene dinner between work friends.
That night, Alain extracts from his sink pipe a lemming (to which the title refers and which is indigenous to Scandinavia); the next day, Alice tries to seduce Alain at work, if "seduction" is even the correct word here as Alice blankly asks scared to his core Alain, "Do you want to sleep with me," by which point the weirdness train has officially left the station.
Director Dominik Moll, who also directed the terrific thriller, "With a Friend like Harry" knows his way around this material and he has cast his film perfectly: Laurent Lucas (playing a role here very similar to one he played in "Harry"...a man perplexed about the unusual circumstances with which he is confronted), with his wide expressive eyes and face gives us layers of truth as his performance unfurls. His Alain is smart, kind and loving and he is the one around which all the action revolves.
Unfortunately, Charlotte Rampling leaves the film early and her departure leaves a gaping hole in the film.
Moll is dealing with a number of things here: sexual desire, mostly misdirected, voyeurism, sexual fantasy yet, unlike as in "Harry," which had a delectably nerve-jangling quality, whenever he searches similar veins in this scenario he succumbs to a kind of pride of perversion: showing us but not revealing anything knew about his themes.

4.0 out of 5 stars LIKE TWISTED HITCHCOCK
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2007

Strange, ironic, compelling, subversive and disturbing.

Visual and verbal metaphors abound, both intended and found.

Great looking and wonderfully unsettling.

What's really going on here as seemingly perfect lives start
to come apart soon after a lemming is found clogging a kitchen sink?

See it without knowing anything more and you're in for a
noirish French cocktail with a twist of Lynch and Hitchcock.

2.0 out of 5 stars Well acted thriller, but I wouldn't want to buy it.
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2012
The acting is good, and it's creepy enough to hold your interest, but the ending
was a letdown, I'd say - movies, especially thrillers, don't have to be realistic and logical, but the ending just seemed too unrealistic to me, and as somebody else pointed out, tacking on Mama Cass singing
"Dream a Little Dream of Me" as the credits roll didn't help. Another one I'm happy that I saw on TV. Worth seeing once, I'd say,
and it's now erased. The test of a good film is: would you recommend it to a friend? Even if I had a friend who liked thrillers, I'd say, "You can skip this one."

Originalmente vi esta peli en Sky, de esas que las pasan una sola vez; todavía no conocía otras actuaciones de Charlotte Gaingsburg, aunque lo interesante de la película es una combinación de situaciones que van manteniendo el interés: Se establece una serie de situaciones de celos y poder. que mantienen una trama interesante y un tanto extraña, actúa Charlotte Rampling, otra consumada y veterana actriz británica. Las dos mujeres provocan el desenvolviendo de la trama. aunque sutilmente.
La busqué en Amazon y la encontré. No dudé en comprarla, la calidad del dvd es buena y la entrega razonablemente rápida.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Film, den man unbedingt sehen sollte
Reviewed in Germany on December 30, 2017

Schon vor Jahren habe ich den Film gesehen und er hat mich tief bewegt. Nach längerer Zeit sah ich ihn jetzt erneut, er hat nichts von dem Charme verloren. Wie einige wunderbare Rezensenten vor mir, kann ich ihn nur noch einmal loben.
Kurz zu dem Inhalt, den die Anderen schon sehr sehr gut erzählt haben.
Ein junges Paar, Alain und Bénédicte Getty ist nach Toulouse umgesiedelt, weil Alain dort als Ingenieur für Sicherheit-Systeme (für die Häuser) arbeitet. Sein Vorgesetzter Richard Pollock ladet sich mit seiner Frau Alice auf ein Abendessen zu den beiden jungen Menschen. Sie kommen zu spät, und als sie endlich eintreffen, beginnt Alice sofort zu streiten. Sie beschuldigt ihren Mann der Untreue, am Ende fahren die beiden nach Hause. Der Abend ist ein Desaster.
Am nächsten Tag sucht Alice ihren Mann in der Firma, findet dort Alain und will ihn verführen. Sie bietet sich an, Alain bleibt jedoch fest.
Trotzdem erzählt Alice Bénédicte eine Version, die nicht stimmt, sie deutet an, dass ihr Mann ihr etwas verheimlicht, und dass zwischen ihnen doch mehr war. Alain bestreitet das, seine Frau sagt ihm, Alice ist noch bei ihnen, sie wolle sich ausruhen und schäfe im Gästezimmer. Es kommt zum Eclat...
Danach geht alles anders als gedacht. Als R. Pollock den beiden sein Wochenendhaus in den Bergen anbietet, verschwindet Bénédicte und lässt Alain zurück. Auf einmal zieht sie zu Richard.
Alain ist verwirrt, aber auch sehr böse un eifersüchtig auf seinen Chef. Er will seine Frau zurück. Durch einen "Zufall" bekommt er die Schlüssel zu dem Haus, dringt ein...
Man kann den Film mit Lynch's Arbeiten vergleichen, das stimmt. Aber, was ihn so besonders macht, sind die Hauptdarsteller. Die "beiden Charlotte's", ein Genuss! Die spielen so perfekt, dass man sofort glaubt, die junge Alice könne jetzige Bénédicte sein. Aus zwei Gesichten ist einer geworden. Die Gesten, die Mimik, alles perfekt durchdacht. Die Gesichter der beiden..., fast erfroren bei der Sprache, aber sie zeigen eine ganze Palette der Gefühlen, die man erahnen kann...
Auch die Männer spielen gut, besonders Laurent Lucas als Alain Getty überzeugt.
Lemming..., warum dieser Titel? Schon am Beginn muß Allain den Abfluss in der Küche reinigen. Dort findet er einen Nagetier. Er lebt noch, der Tierarzt wundert sich jedoch, weil es um einen Lemming geht, der nur im Skandinavien, bzw. hoch im Norden lebt. Sein Neffe erzählt die Geschichte der Tiere... Sie sollten bei ihren Wanderungen so weit schwimmen, dass sie vor Erschöpfung sterben. Man spricht vom kollektiven Suizid (die Theorie stimmt nicht, hält sich aber noch immer).
Alain sieht im Traum sein Haus voll von Lemmingen, in seinen Träumen schmelzen beide Frauen zu einer...
Die Liebe, Hass, Selbstmord, Selbstzerstörung, Mord - alles sieht man im Film. Aber immer so, dass enige Frage offen bleiben. Der Traum und Die Wirklichkeit verschmelzen zu einem Konglomerat.
Am Ende zählt das Überleben - oder?
Es ist kein leichter Film, man befasst sich lange noch mit dem Inhalt. Noch immer sind neue Interpretatinoen möglich. Und das macht ihn aktuell und so besonders.

The first thing about this movie is that it's well casted. All four leads are excellent. AS far as I'm concerned Charlotte Gainsbourg is the hottest actress in the world today, so I guess I'm a bit biased, but then again, all reviewers are. I thought the script was convincing (which is often not the case in genre films) and the acting subtle and understated. Director Moll is also quite obviously influenced by David Lynch, too my mind a good thing, although he is also, unlike Lynch in his two latest films, a good storyteller. I highly recommend this film and I'm looking forward to see other films by Moll.
