    • Trivia
      Last movie from Claude Sautet, before his death in 2000. He was reportedly so happy by the public and critical reception of the movie that he didn't feel the need to make another one.
    • Goofs
      The movie title in French is "Nelly et Mr. Arnaud", but even though it's a common mistake, "Mr." isn't short for "Monsieur", it means "Mister". "Monsieur" is written "Mr" without the period.
    • Quotes

      Nelly: [In a fancy restaurant] There are more waiters than customers here.

      Monsieur Arnaud: That explains the prices. You saved my life,

      [by giving him a back massage]

      Monsieur Arnaud: so that ruled out McDonald's.

    A sensitive, lovely film by a master director
    This comment, in the form of a poem, is dedicated to the late Claude Sautet, one of France's premier directors...

    NELLY ET M. ARNAUD

    Empty shelves: his library divested. Nothing written, except memory, invests this moment, this immediacy. In the dim light his worn hand almost caresses her young body, but we, in the dark, must estimate the camera's intent. What he had held in abeyance too long shadows his face.

    And the rain, the hard Parisian rain. Cognac at tables for two. Another man, a younger man. These scenes will lead us to believe in temporary convenience... the "stolen moments." Vivid beauty flashed on the computer screen, four centuries preserved. Manipulated, changed, "seared with trade." What remains, embraced, has no passport, has no traveling bags. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    Thank you and farewell, M. Sautet
