Cannabis Audience Reviews

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
gridoon2018 The title "French Intrigue" is only half right; the film does take place mostly in France, but it is very un-intriguing. According to IMDb, this was Pierre Koralnik's second directorial effort; I don't know if he improved later on, but at this point he absolutely could not direct: the film is very poorly put together, with an almost complete lack of basic transition shots. The script is incoherent and uninteresting. Serge Gainsbourg is supposed to be on a drug-busting mission, but he looks as if he was on drugs himself when this was made! Occasional nudity by Jane Birkin is the film's only redeeming virtue, but I'd still suggest that you avoid "French Intrigue" at all costs. * out of 4.
dbdumonteil Jane Birkin is supposed to be this girl from a good background but we know it just because the cop (Gabrielle "Avventura" Ferzetti) tells us so.The film was produced by Andrée Debar ,an actress of the fifties who had a strange androgynous look.Why she stopped acting remains a mystery as why Serge Gainsbourg stopped singing and writing to play such a poor part in a hackneyed movie.At least he wrote the score and the cast and credits song,which are much too good for a director who leaves his actors to their own devices."This is not a movie about drugs " a line reads at the beginning ;it's a love film,an action-packed film...As far as the love film is concerned ,we have good-looking Jane Birkin naked every ten minutes;as for the action,highlights are ,so to speak,a chase on the roof of the opera -without a phantom- and a massacre in a chicken farm."Cannabis " is a relic of the late sixties,which would be forgotten,weren't it for the legendary Birkin/Gainsbourg lovers who fortunately knew better times.
vvvallaton They made a lots of crime movies like this in the 60's. The script (if there is any) hasn't given much thought and is full of holes. The characters are empty and stupid, there are always drugs involved and at least one party scene full of grass smoking messed up hippies. Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg spend most of the time kissing and touching each other while the other "gangster" is just fooling around. From time to time, police is trying to catch them with zero results. Acting is bad and the dialog is ridiculous. However, there are still some nice shots in it and the soundtrack (composed by Gainsbourg) is fantastic and that is a reason enough to check out this piece of crap.
mark czuba Cannabis or 'French Intrigue' as it was called on the North American video release is a low budget film with not much to see in it besides a naked Jane Birkin getting it on. Serge Gainsbourg Smoking one cigarette after another plays a unshaven, hoodlum involved with a international drug smuggling conspiracy. Jane Birkin is a girl Serge meets on a air-plane, and nudity ensue, not Gainsbourg though which is a scary proposition seeing him in that Lemon incest video. Another memorable scene is Serge in a huge Chicken coupe shooting it out with other baddies. Soundtrack is by Gainsbourg and is very cool as with everything the man did.
