As though the title (=the wildcats) were not enough, the soundtrack which is heard during the whole cast and credits is made of roarings , to rival the MGM lion.
In spite of an excellent cast of talented actors (Daniel Auteuil ,Philippe Leotard, Jean-François Balmer, Macha Meril ), this bomb bears all the scars of the worst eighties French cinema :aggressive music, flashy pictures, slow motion ,actors left to their own devices and overplaying -one gets the feeling of having never seen them worse than here .
From a trite story of revenge (the stuntman has accidentally killed his girlfriend whose brother was in love with ), the screenwriters wanted to take the audience to a walk (or a drive more like) on the wild side , in the shady threatening night world : incest ,homosexuality , rape,murder and voyeurism are in the film program ; there's even would be poetic touches : flashbacks show the Paradise Lost of childhood ,when brother and sister would fool around .
The supporting cast does not help :singer Florent Pagny as a gay in love with Auteuil , is ridiculous, and Louise Portal brings her strong Quebec accent ;Valérie Mairesse' s affected voice is almost unbearable. And plenty of filler (the wildcats ' dance,the fashion show).
