02/28/2013 Schrecklicher Film mit einer katastrophalen Übersetzung ins deutsche aber auch sonst: Träge Charaktere, eine unglaubwürdig seltsam schnelle Verliebung, schreckliche Frisur von William Hurt und eine total total öde Story. Nur der wiederkehrende Song von Paolo Conte ist zu Beginn noch ein wenig Balsam für die Ohren. Sonst gibt es auch keinen Soundtrack, wenn ich recht gehört habe See more 11/09/2009 This is a great romantic comedy from the cinematic eye of Chantal Akerman. Juliette Binoche is a dancer from Paris. William Hurt is a psychoanalyst from New York. Through an apartment swap program, they trade living environments for a few weeks, never having met each other. He has to deal with her pesky boyfriends and her messy apartment. She begins to take on his clients. When he returns home for a conference, he learns what's been going on and poses as a patient. That's when the emotions begin to grow. Very, very fun and entertaining.
