I don't know, if Cedric Klapisch have seen "Window to Paris" (1994), but the comparison strongly suggest itself: both main characters, Arthur and Sergei, travel through space-time by the means of corridors, garrets and windows. Artur makes a trip from contemporary Paris to ruinous Paris of future, where he meets his aged son, daughter and their families.
Possibly maybe this film could be a little bit better, if the director won't lose his temper right from the beginning. The movie started very energetically, with some great unusual scenes emerging from very usual situations, -- but, after the Arthur finds the window to future sand-covered Paris and talks to his descendants -- the storyline goes completely illogical and unreal, and I (sorry) can't believe in what is taking place no more.
"Peut-etre" is very nice, sentimental and funny, but it would vanish from your memory right after you'll leave the cinema hall.
