Reviews
“Hollywood has long generated its share of bad-boy stars, but cinema’s other capital is known more for its cultivated, artistic persuasion. ‘Les Durs,’ rightly does justice to France’s own collection of rough leading men by highlighting three heartthrobs with troublemaking tendencies.”
– Peter Labuza, The Village Voice
