great plot, fantastic actors

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2011)

I worried a bit in the beginning that I might find it a bit "banal" as I live in Europe and Paris is not exactly "exotic" to me. But -Oh My God- the plot was fantastic! Deep, meaningful and real. Owen Wilson at his best; I always loved his voice, natural talent and general style and in this movie his voice and general style is a unique asset. The casting was very spot-on! I would have hated to see any other main actor for this movie and the same goes for Carla Bruni's role, and most of the other smaller roles. The humor, the unexpected turn of events, the mystery, the romantic turn to the literary past of an old city, the beautiful people and gorgeous Paris scenes by day and by night were just "rich". I would see it again at the drop of a hat. Great job!
