What a refreshment. Beautiful natural women. Cristallclear contemplation of relationships between man and women. A strong leading actress. Benoit Magimel is excellent. In fact this hinders him to be Oscar ripe. An Oscar winner like Chris Cooper in Adaptation plays that subtle and appealing you never think about any valuation during the movie. Anyway this movie is a distinct peace of French culture. Not fully taken -so far, because Disney really tries to conquer and eat the French - by the US hegemonic movie industry. I am from Austria and I am used to see only Hollywood movies as our Film board decided to abandon home made public motion pictures for the sake of intellectual festival movies. And in Austria only the French problem movies like "Ma mere" do reach the audience. So I was in France and saw something different from the super artificial, super commercial Hollywood or US movies. What a culture relief. Long live variety.
