An average movie

It is once again one of those really obscure French movies. I don't know why exactly but I have always been attracted by this flick and I was really eager to check it out. On the other hand, when this movie was released (already 20 years ago! Oh my God.... I feel old...), Vincent Perez and Sophie Marceau were some very popular actors in France and even though they might not have been the best, they were among the most charismatic thespians so to make a romantic feature starring the both of them sounded great on paper. Unfortunately, I thought that the end-result was terribly underwhelming. I mean, Perez and Marceau were indeed really charismatic and did have a pretty good chemistry but the story was just terribly tedious. It is basically one of those romances when a man and a woman are obviously made for each other but one of them find a lame excuse so they can't be together, of course, until the end. I find this gimmick so damned frustrating and, in this movie, it is one of the worse examples I have ever seen. I mean, they keep throwing some pompous dialogs, some pseudo-psychological babble throughout the whole thing trying to convince you that this is what romance is actually about. Well, I didn't buy it and I thought it was quite unbearable to behold. To conclude, even though the leads were terribly cute, it remains one really tedious romantic feature and it is not really worth a look, even if you are interested in French movies.
