Offbeat, slightly frustrating and very French (but fun)

This is a typically 'arty' French film (in a mild way), which leaves a lot of untied strings at the end, which may put off some viewers.

But the acting (as is so often the case) is of a quality that leaves Hollywood standing, as is the basic concept, and the complexity of the story and its motivations are charming in a way seldom found in American movies.

You may not believe in this narrative, but it's certainly entertaining and definitely worth a couple of hours' watching.
