Talky French comedy is like Woody Allen with an accent -- but minus the laughs.

Rated: 1/5

This started out a bit slowly, and the subtitles were sometimes hard to read, but ended up being a decent story.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Stories of love amongst affluent Parisians, with an alternative ending to the 'it was all a dream' cliche.
