Fate starts making trouble for a high-spirited young couple in this wildly offbeat French comedy. Dom (Dominique Abel) and Fiona (Fiona Gordon) spend their days as teachers at a grade school in a small town, and by night they motor off to the big city and dazzle the crowds at dance contests with their moves on the floor. After picking up a trophy at a competition one evening, Dom and Fiona are driving home when a man with a death wish dashes into the road. They manage to avoid hitting him, but lose control of their car and end up in a serious accident. The next morning, Fiona discovers she's lost one of her legs, while Dom has suffered brain damage that's causes his powers of memory to go haywire. Plucky Dom and Fiona try to go on with their lives as if nothing has changed, but despite their high spirits and can-do attitude, reality has a habit of getting in the way -- Fiona has a hard time leaning to use crutches and accidentally sets her artificial limb on fire, while Dom's attempts at cooking are hampered by his inability to remember what ingredients he's already put into the mix. Stars Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon also wrote and directed Rumba in collaboration with Bruno Romy.

Charming and quirky
To complain that this movie has 'next to no dialogue' is to miss the point by about, oh, the width of the English Channel. It is a visual feast, full of... read more »

Waste of time
Not poignant, not funny, just a waste of time. I love French movies but this one was dull. I can't believe how stupid it is. There is next to no dialogue ... read more »

Brilliant, creative and funny.
A creative, warm and original movie. It is very funny, and full of observation about people. Beautifully filmed, each frame is a perfect piece of composition, ... read more »
