Bye Bye (1997) *
The lives of Arab immigrants in France can't possibly be as boring, depressing and pathetic as this film would lead us to believe. And it's so unflattering to its subjects that it could well be shown at one of Le Pen's anti-immigrant rallies. Watching this insomnia-curing excuse for a motion picture is a very frustrating experience: everyone always yells, screams and acts like a jerk, but nothing of interest ever happens.
