Blu-ray Review: Audrey Tautou Exudes Melancholic Radiance in ‘Delicacy’
2 October 2012 6:19 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – In “Delicacy,” the beguiling new film from David and Stéphane Foenkinos, there are moments that beautifully portray the strange effect that love can have on the senses. Two characters spend what appears to be a brief moment together in an office. It’s only upon leaving it that they realize hours have passed by. For fans of charming French rom-coms, this picture may have a similar effect.
The luminous smile that famously graced the face of Audrey Tautou in “Amélie” is replaced by a no less radiant expression of crestfallen heartache. Tautou plays Nathalie, a young woman who loses her great love, François (Pio Marmaï), in a traffic accident. Her stranded heart remains indifferent to the desires of men overwhelmed by her beauty, including her lecherous boss, Charlie (Bruno Todeschini). Thankfully, tragedy has caused Nathalie to favor an uncommon level of frankness, and she has no problem telling Charlie »

Delicacy DVD Review
6 August 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Directors: David & Stephane Foenkinos
Starring: Audrey Tautou, Francois Damiens, Bruno Todeschini, Josephine de Meaux, Melanie Bernier
Running Time: 104 minutes
Certificate: 12A
Extras: Bloopers Reel, Deleted Scenes, Trailer
Though Audrey Tautou is a superstar in France, her Hollywood fling has been less successful. Delicacy takes her back to her roots as the vulnerable, emotional beauty at the centre of a French love story. Delicacy, based on co-director David Foenkinos’ book of the same name, is a sweet little tale based around tragedy and the human reaction. Nathalie (Tautou) and Francois (Pio Marmai) meet in a coffee shop, and are soon happily married; tragedy befalls their story however, as Francois is killed, and Nathalie struggles to adapt to life without him, until Markus appears and changes everything.
Paris is a beautiful setting for any story, particularly a romantic comedy. It’s picturesque streets and the Eiffel tower are priceless tools for directors looking to generate emotion. »

Delicacy Review
16 April 2012 2:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Audrey Tautou has come a long way since her touching, doe-eyed international debut in Amelie. The actress is typecast in such feisty, cutesy roles that it’s hard to determine whether she’s good or just a natural charmer – a bit of both perhaps. In debut directors David Foenkinos and Stephane Foenkinos’ new romance, Delicacy, we find a more determined Tautou at play – who still commands the screen in a delightfully challenging role about life, love and death.
Nathalie (Tautou) is a beautiful, happy and successful Parisian business executive who finds herself suddenly widowed after a three-year marriage to her soul mate. Struggling to cope with her loss, she buries herself and her emotions in her work to the dismay of her friends, family and co-workers.
After being pursued by her boss (Bruno Todeschini), Nathalie finds love and a rekindled zest for life in an unlikely source, her seemingly unexceptional, »

It's clear from the outset this Jj Abrams-produced genre offering isn't your standard slasher movie, as a traditional teen country break set-up is monitored by wisecracking officials in some mysterious bunker. But exactly what the twist is, it's better to discover for yourself. Let's just say it gives the horror formula an exhilarating jolt without destroying it, in a Lost-meets-Scooby-Doo sort of way – a meta-mystery tour signposted with spoiler alerts.

After the triumph of Transformers, Hasbro spin off another of their products, resulting in an effects-driven alien invasion that looks a lot like, er, Transformers. Expect Michael Bay-scale destruction, lots of CG explosions and military heroism, with extra cheese.

Exclusive Interview with the Delightful Audrey Tautou for Her New Film 'Delicacy'
4 April 2012 2:53 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Since March 14, the French film Delicacy, starring Audrey Tautou, has been slowly been rolling out across the United States in limited release. The film, which is based on the best-selling novel by David Foenkinos, who wrote and co-directed the film with his brother Stephane, stars Tautou as Nathalie, a French woman who has buried herself in work since losing her husband of three years. But, seemingly out of the blue and from a completely unexpected source, her spirits are lifted when she begins dating her office subordinate, Markus (Francois Damiens). The film, as its title implies, is rich and enjoyable and one of my favorites so far this year. It is the kind of romantic film the French do so well. The kind of films that American audiences always claim they want to see instead of the typical Hollywood rom-com. A film that makes you want to rush off to Paris and fall in live. »
