I would rate this as one of the top ten movies I have ever seen. It is a perfect little movie: a visual poem. Surprising, bittersweet. Heartbreaking and mysterious, Rocquefort's performance is masterful and secures his place as one of cinemas most expressive actors. The lead actress is lovely and perfectly cast; she does not hit a false note in her performance. The emotional pallet runs from hysterically funny to wistful to heart-rending. One of the great love stories that rewards multiple viewings. It never does what you expect it to. But when it turns you realize the choice was right on target. I rank it up there with My Life as a Dog and Cinema Paridiso. It is the type of movie that makes me fall in love with cinema all over again.
