What have I seen on Netflix? The game (Le jeu)

OPINION

A few weeks ago I finished watching the French film The Game (Le jeu) and I have to say that I really liked it. A film that begins as the typical French comedy, but that goes convoluted, perhaps because of the eclipse, and becomes a drama based on lies and infidelities.
This film is the French version of "Perfetti sconosciuti" by Paolo Genovese. I haven't had the opportunity to see one or the other, so I don't have an opinion about those films, although if I had seen them, I don't know if I would have seen this French version.

I thought it was the right start to the film, which is none other than new technologies, in particular the use of smartphones and their privacy between the couple and friends.
I also liked its plot development and how all the characters have a prominent role in it and the messages it sends us about love in couple, friendship, secrets between friends and family.
