THE movie of summer 2004

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2004)

First i was a bit afraid it could be a crappy romance flick .. but i got surprised. The movie is soo great because of the way it is directed. You don't have much of the action and fun we are used to from romantic comedies. It's a realistic and touching mirror of two excited and unsure people meeting after 9 years of no-contact. There's no background music (like in the Dogma movies) and the scenes are simple. For example there's this scene in a cafe (a great, old french cafe with fantastic athmosphere). They sit there and talk .. for about 20 minutes of the movie. and it's not even boring for the viewer. I mean, it's so "real", and so exciting to watch them getting in touch again. And there's such a great humour in certain scenes, SO SUBTLE!! i love it.
