Rated R. 153 minutes. Sitting in an outdoor caf around Christmastime with her latest new lover, she is suddenly, unceremoniously dumped. As this suburban cad walks away to catch his train, she follows him, raging, storming, threatening him half-seriously with stalking. Yet such is Ang le's mistrust of amour that she initially rejects Antoine. Here, a dream of ageless beauty reigns.
Romance is always about to blossom, passions and complexions are endlessly renewed.
Rated R. 105 minutes. The setting is a French suburb where, over the course of a few weeks, various interesting characters become involved with one another as friends, lovers and acquaintances. Castella returns to the play over the next couple of nights and then begins to romantically pursue Clara. Like most romantic comedies there is a good amount of humor about the woes of relationships, the silly misunderstandings that accompany them and the usual struggle to find their meaning but nothing ever gets too serious. Cinema is rarely more assured than this.
