He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
That adorable Audrey Tautou fromAmélieplays the central role in this deceptive story of a rather unusual romance. It would spoil the film's clever design to reveal what happens halfway throughHe Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, so let's just say that Tautou plays a winsome girl in the sunny town of Bordeaux, whose relationship with a married doctor has more layers than first it seems. Samuel LeBihan, fromBrotherhood of the Wolf, plays the doctor, but it's the casting of cutie-pie Tautou that sets up the movie's gradually sinister undertow. Director Laetitia Colombani's inventive structure plays a satisfyingly tricky game with the audience, and may have some viewers going back to the beginning to make sure they saw what they thought they saw. Just don't go in expectingAméliepart deux, and you should find this an ingenious little number.--Robert Horton
