  Undoubtedly French
  
  Sensitive movie. Beautifully directed with an unusual narrator format. Funny and tragic.
  
  If you like Paris, you'll love the scenery.

  Don't get me wrong, I love French films in general.

  Arty Noir Nothing!
  
  Nothing really happens. A kind of moment in time movie. Great acting though from the 3 main male parts.
