User Reviews

A sparkling comedy you must see

Magic and poetry are often misunderstood. Nevertheless, when handled by clever people as the Larrieu brothers, they can say more about reality than an evident and boring realism. This movie is a little piece of jewelry which says a lot about modern love and its difficulties through ten years and three locations Paris, Ibiza and the magnificent Pyrenees. It's this kind of movie which makes you feel good watching it and even better after thinking about it. I saw the movie twice the same afternoon, something I have not done for ages. Yes real men are rare, almost as rare as the menaced species of "Coq de bruyère" (rare wild rooster) and you will be able to admire both in this charming comedy you must absolutely see.
