A very good movie

Basically, it is one of those rather obscure French movies that almost no one has seen here on listal. In fact, I remember it very well when this movie was released and I’m pretty sure I saw it in the movie theater at the time. Indeed, I guess, Agnès Jaoui is pretty much unknown abroad but she actually always had a solid career as actress in France for many years. Anyway, back in 2000, she surprised everyone with this directing debut which was a big commercial and critical success in France (it even won the César of the Best French movie for that particular year). Basically, what made this movie really intriguing to me was the fact there was no real plot and that it was rather focused on the characters. It is in fact something really French, to have a whole movie during which nothing much really happen and, instead,  you just get to see some couples endlessly talking to each other. Anyway, in this case, it worked just fine. Indeed, the characters were indeed very well nuanced and well portrayed by the cast which delivered some solid performances (Jean-Pierre Bacri, Alain Chabat, Gérard Lanvin, Agnès Jaoui). To conclude, I really liked a lot this romantic feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
