Breath of Fresh Air

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2014)

Someone asked me to describe this masterpiece and I was at a loss of words and could only depict it as, "a breath of fresh air."
As someone who does not speak French and had to read the movie in subtitles, this movie is still one of my top 10 favorite of all time. This film is truly amazing; I loved watching every second of the dynamic between these two characters. Some of the best on screen chemistry I've ever witnessed in a movie with truly heartfelt and hilarious moments. I love seeing how these two characters played off one another gave each other something. I could go on and on about how great everything in this movie is. It is difficult for me to comprehend how someone could dislike this movie, it has something for everyone. Yes, I understand it may not be entirely accurate to the real story of what happened, but at least for me I go into a film expecting liberties to be taken to enhance the quality of the film. Watching this movie in subtitles made it difficult for me to evaluate the performance these actors gave; however, it does not detract from this movie one bit as the relationship between these two characters is one that is exceeded by few, if none. For anyone who has not seen this movie, it is without a doubt one you cannot pass up! It remains one of all time favorites and it is considered a foreign film relative to me. I could ramble on forever and describe to you how I was smiling throughout almost this entire movie, or the feelings of happiness it brought upon me, but I leave you dear reader saying this; this work was a breath of fresh air. I adored it.
