When ten people divide ten screenwriting credits between them it often results in a film that no one would want to see but Aurore aka I Got Life has a trick worth two of that in the shape of leading lady Agnes Jaoui - who also helped out on the screenplay - one of the most talented artists on the French cultural scene. Active in both stage and screen and a triple-threat (writer-director-actor) in the latter, a double-threat (writer-actor) in the former she can truly be described as a safe pair of hands. Jaoui could play Aurore, a woman approaching middle age sans partner, sans job, and grandmother-in-waiting, with one emotion behind her back and breathes new life into a hackneyed plot. Rather than go gently into the dark abyss of old age she uses a chance meeting with a long-gone first love to kick start a new life. Incredibly no one has seen fit to comment on this delightful movie here on imdb. Shame on you.
