An eccentric, unconventional fable, Brooklyn Bizarre follows Maurice, an 18 year old boy from France with a dark past. Having just arrived in Brooklyn, New York, he has no friends and no place to stay. On a chance encounter, he is taken in by two beautiful girls, Kim and Betty. Maurice is given room and board and a job at their famous underground club, the Bizarre, where he begins to form a whole new family. In this ephemeral refuge of fantasy and freedom, he begins a disturbing relationship with a male bartender, Luka, who becomes obsessed with Maurice, and also harbors some secrets of his own. But Maurice's past catches up to him, and the liberating world he has become a part of begins to fall apart. When a mysterious older man shows up one evening at the club, it becomes clear that Maurice needs to disappear ....at all costs. A sexy and disturbing tale of opening your door to a beautiful stranger. DVD EXTRA: Interview with lead actor Pierre Prieur (French language only)

Exceptionally disappointing
Exceptionally disappointing; the acting was exceptional and very believable until the last five minutes when apparently the writers wanted to exhibit the time-worn (& boring) french existential angst that life is meaningless and relationships without merit as reflected in the final pointless and heartless decision of the main character Maurice.What could have been an outstanding and salvific love story ended up being "clever" and without merit.

Purchase another film instead !
No redeeming qualities in this movie. More like stream of consciousness novel than storytelling. Purchase a film like « Steel » which actually tells a thrilling story.

After I finish the film I watch the making of, and behind the scene. I said WOW! This guy is actuality French. His English is GOOD.. I said to my self he had the mannerism down but that FAKE ass French accent has got too go!
