Basically, it is once again one of those really obscure French movies which I was the 1st one to have seen here on Listal so it might be one of the most obscure movies I have ever seen. I was above all attracted by the interesting cast but, to my surprise, I really loved this flick. It was directed by Claude Berri, a very well known director in France but never one of my favorites and, in my opinion, it is by far the best movie he has made, at least, among the ones I have seen. There was also a very good cast (Catherine Deneuve, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Gérard Depardieu, Serge Gainsbourg, Alain Souchon) and they all delivered some really solid performances. Anyway, the thing that most intrigued me was the story. Indeed, basically, it is a love story about one woman and the 4 men who were her lover at different times in her life. So, it was very dysfunctional and therefore very French but, somehow, I thought it was just fascinating and I thought it was just pretty awesome. Afterwards, I watched it again with my wife but since she always finds those French romances more annoying than entertaining, she didn't care much for it (the story of my life...). Anyway, in my opinion, it is one of the very best romantic features ever made and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
