Leave it to the French to make one night stands and adultery movies look cute and novel. This is after all, a comedy and the adultery happens naturally, like how water flows from a high place to lower place. It does not even look troubling since from the first scene when the two main protagonists meet (Sandrine Bonnaire and Jacques Gamblin), you could already sense the sexual tension and attraction happen between the two. It does help that the pair looks quite intriguing together - Sandrine - as cute as a button, while Jacques - ruggedly handsome. The whole thing just happens within a day or two - it actually looks like a Woody Allen movie. Check out the improv theater scenes! They're really funny!
This is the first film I saw in this year's French Film Festival and I'm quite curious to see some of the others! Certainly a good way to start a festival.
