      Yvan: My name is Yvan. I'm 35, a sports reporter. I'm either in a stadium, or here, the news room of Info Sport TV. My chances of meeting an actress were 12 to 1. When I met Charlotte, I saw only her. Now I realize living with an actress is a crazy thing.

    Today I had the privilege of viewing "My Wife is an Actress" at a preview for the San Francisco International Film Festival. I highly recommend the French comedy, which I understand is being released by Sony in May.

    Without having realized the male lead Atal is also the Writer & Director, it's all the more amazing how one can juggle so many tasks effectively. Likely this is because it is undoubtedly based on his real life, including his real life wife playing his wife (the actress).

    I know this type of setup has been done before, but the behind the scenes element of a movie set is very appealing. Atal lets us in on the filming and behind the scenes monotony of film making. Terence Stamp, as the English speaking actor of some note, is a true delight as usual.

    In particular, the opening montage and a scene not for the modest should be taken note of for their own appeal.

    I believe only the true cynic will be disappointed with the ending, which in today's movies (especially Hollywood films) are lacking in conclusions or resolutions.
