About
Louis Garrel stars in his own buoyant romantic farce as Abel, sweetly passive and buffeted by others whims. His lover, Marianne (Laetitia Casta), dumps him for his friend Paul, only to come back into the picture years later, while Pauls winsome younger sister Eve (Lily-Rose Depp) acts out on a years-in-the-making obsessive crush. Garrel wrote the screenplay with the legendary Jean-Claude Carrière (Belle de Jour, 1967), one that takes advantage of the actors considerable charisma. Garrels diffident, boy-man charm is at full wattage as the triangle plays itself out with gentle hilarity.
Actor Louis Garrels second feature in the directors chair is a caprice of a film, knowingly taking on the age-old French theme of a love triangle, offering an enjoyable pastiche of the French New Wave in the process As much concerned with the characters fairy-tale imaginings than whats under their noses the emotions that peep through the comedy nevertheless ring true. Fantasies and fancies may be trifled with but sometimes you have to have faith in humanity. Garrel keeps the faith. Amber Wilkinson, Eye For Film
