Here's a film that's been jeered and sneered almost off the screen by pundits, and admittedly the news that it is directed by Ate de Jong, who brought us the ill-starred Rik Mayall vehicle Drop Dead Fred, isn't encouraging.

But I found something intriguing in this very, very bizarre exploitation B-pic. A married couple, Ann (Orla Brady) and Leo (Ben Daniels) are driving across the French Alps in the company of a friend, Bob - played by former teen legend Luke Perry - with whom there is unexplained sexual tension.

Their car is marooned in fog; there is nothing for it but to wait, and their uneasy banter is interspersed with stylised flashbacks, giving clues not merely to their present situation but to Leo's psychotic state.

Because Leo has a terrible guilty secret, inducing a delusional multiple personality disorder which has made him believe that in a past life he was a duke in revolutionary France - and there are "flashbacks" to this existence, too, in full period costume!

Yes, it's got absurdity, bad taste and some ripe over-acting. But there's something engaging about how chancy and just plain weird it all is.
