Review
This conventional mystery turned semi-supernatural thriller is lacking
in most every aspect - mainly the artistic departments. The story is
trite and uncreative, and if screenwriters Stephane Cabel and Guillaume
Nicloux didn't make complete fools of themselves, I suspect the
Jean-Christophe Grangé novel on which the film is based is likewise.
From mysterious, ominous strangers, through Messiah themes and
pseudo-mysticism, Le concile de pierre picks bits and pieces from
traditional storytelling without getting much desired effect. Guillaume
Nicloux direction is undistinguished, but I don't know many filmmakers
who could have made this into a good film. Monica Bellucci's
wholehearted performance and the beautiful Nicolas Thau are what you
should keep your eye on.
