Je pense à vous Reviews

It is probably one of the most obscure French movies I have seen. Indeed, I’m the only here in Listal who has seen it and on IMDB not even 150 people have rated it. Still, even though it is definitely obscure, I thought it was pretty good. I always had a weak spot for Pascal Bonitzer’s work who is above all famous for his work as a screenwriter (‘La Belle Noiseuse’, ‘Ma saison préférée’, ‘Généalogies d’un crime’,…) but also directed a few movies which are not really famous but which I enjoyed nonetheless (‘Petites coupures’, Rien sur Robert’, ‘Encore’). Anyway, this time around, he wrote and directed this feature which displayed a pretty good cast (Edouard Baer, Géraldine Pailhas, Charles Berling) and they all delivered some solid performances. Basically, it is one of those typical French romantic movies. Nothing much happen at all, expect that the characters talk a lot and they are all involved in some rather convoluted romantic relationships. Personally, I really have a weak spot for this kind of movies because they display some real (at least who seem real) 3 dimensional human beings and I always find easier and more interesting to identify with them than with the boring stereotypes provided by Hollywood. To conclude, even though it is nothing really mind-blowing, I enjoyed it and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies and/or if you like the genre.
