a romantic movie after all
The movie pleasantly surprised me. Characters dramas and atmosphere are
the keys here, not the plot, which is rather thin. Noticeable is the
subtle, but constant erotic arousal between Leo and the 3 female main
characters, who, at certain point all seem to be falling for him. Don't
expect explicit scenes, romance is just suggested and that makes the
movie worth. C.Lambert is acting very well IMHO, bringing to life an
unexpected mixture of manhood, loser, romance and sensitivity. Sophie
Marceau is ravishing as a very beautiful woman condemned in the
wheelchair, but still aspiring for love and fulfillment in her life.
She is an educated woman, even sophisticated, having high expectations
from the people surrounding her. She reminds of a noble from other
century sometimes. I found very nice to watch how such a character
played by Marceau ends up falling for the sometimes rude Lambert, and
also, how this "rude" boy, a former boxer now drinking all his pennies,
can display such profound and delicate feelings. In conclusion I would
give it 7.5, which is good, but not great.
