I'm surprised people like this movie so much and call it a masterpiece. The movie is just an American guy meeting two French colleagues that are children of an English mother and know the main character is American and doesn't speak French from the beginning, and the three become close friends right away. They take Matthew to their house, the siblings' parents are very nice people (while Matthew's are not) and still Theo doesn't like them (at least his father). The parents invite Matthew to stay over, even though they barely know him, and leave.
At the first night, Matthew figures that Theo and Isabelle have an incestuous relationship and Isabelle kisses Matthew even though they barely know each other, on the next day he wakes up with her licking him, which is very intrusive and not nice at all.
And oof, Matthew has the **unforgivable** habit of urinating in the sink. Once he does it on Theo's toothbrush and he doesn't even have the decency of throwing it off. Why? It's disgusting!
They are cinephiles, but it seems to be only a detail to fit in the overly sexual plot. The sister asks her brother what's the name of the movie and when he doesn't, she makes him masturbate to a woman in a picture in front of her and Matthew and even licks the fluid. It's gross, honestly.
Theo later on decides to do the same. He gives Isabelle - and Matthew - the task of identifying a movie and Matthew is close to, maybe even did guess, but Theo deliberately makes the time short enough not to let them guess, and then make Isabelle and Matthew do you know what in front of him. Matthew is reluctant and even hides but even then they force/pressure him into it. That's literally sexual abuse. And after it, Isabelle bleeds and cries, Theo puts his hand on the blood and then Matthew rubs the blood on her face and they kiss. What an awful scene.
Matthew and Isabelle starts dating and Theo ironically doesn't like it. Theo and Matthew later on do the homoerotic shotgunning, which makes one think they later will have a threesome or a relationship, whatever, there's more nudity, they eat from the trash can after spending all their money, keep talking about films... I don't know much about the rest. I stopped watching at some point.
This movie is basically shock value with hardly any substance. Maybe what makes it appealing is that the actors look good, the siblings' parents are nice, there's art, there's Paris (which many people are in love with), and also some people have certain kinks and/or like shocking movies.
Anyway, not for me.
