User Reviews

The French have a way of making this kind of movie interesting

This is a comedy. But it's a comedy that could act as the first chapter of an essay on love and relationship. It's the story of Fanny and Paul, but it could be the story of almost anybody. It's a film, but it might as well be a play. It's set in Fanny's apartment, and there's just two characters. By the way, both Marina Foïs and Julien Boisselier are doing a great job. It's not a classic, it's a long-shot from being a masterpiece, but it's very enjoyable. Give it a try.

Seen on April 3rd, 2005, in Toronto, at the Royal Cinema, during the Cinéfranco festival.
