The Favourite Game
2003 · 101 MIN · IMDB 5.6 · 232 VOTES · DIR. Bernar Hébert
Overview
As a kid, Leo thought he possessed, like a magician, the secret power to make things happen. As a young man, he certainly knows how to make things happen with women. But as his best friend Krantz would say to him, "Why do you always ask questions you already know answers to?" Leo believes firmly in what he invents from one day to the next. Images, impressions, stories fill his head. That's just how he is: life, for Leo, is just a game. Behind this childlike attitude, hides the very essence of his own life's quest.

00:11:30 how was it we were so connected, a complicity of pleasure
00:14:27 [Leo]: And the city drew me back, as it always did, into my past.

00:35:15 A rare thing.
00:40:24 was a way to escape an over-sheltered childhood.
00:45:22 Where's your real face, Mother? Leo, look at me.
00:48:28 the thing I needed to know but didn't
00:52:57 Precisely. Uh!
00:58:19 I'm going to take us to the top of the mountain.
01:03:20 And then back to New York?
01:06:58 I remember you, Martin.
01:10:38 Just someone? Well, I guess you would do, ha, ha...
01:13:32 Yeah, I've changed my mind. I'm sorry, Shell.
01:18:39 I saw a dead child, and learned nothing.
01:23:05 Ah but you couldn't take the pace
01:25:33 And you held her in the shadows
01:28:42 Of course. And?...
01:32:00 you're the only person I wanted to see.
01:36:40 and that, that was the favourite game.
