I have recently watched a movie with Ludivine Sagnier (the movie 'Devil's Double') and I like her. I thought I'd watch this 'Pieds Nus Sur Les Limaces' which also featured Diane Kruger I happen to like as well. Boy, was I disappointed. The movie for the first half seemed to have potential for developing into a good character study and even some adventure and philosophical conclusion. It may well have such a philosophical conclusion and it is certainly a good character study, but not one I could relate to. The character of Lily, played by Sagnier, completely overpowers the one of her sister Clara, played by Kruger. That was the disappointment for me.
The love, caring and devotion Clara shows for her sister following the death of their mother was inspiring. It did not last. I was sorry to see the marriage of Clara break apart, sorry to see Clara give in to the total freedom her sister's life was all about. This would have appealed to me in a book, but for some reason did not work in a movie, it just doesn't. Someone ought to put the script in book form; It would stand a pretty good chance of success I think. I doubt most movie-goers will feel much different about this motion picture, than I have. I suggest you read the other user review preceding mine for a positive view of the film; it has as much merit as mine.
