Romcom?
DVD
B
B
With its frothy tone and look, "jet-set lifestyle," and poppy soundtrack, this feels like a '60s sex farce (yet with references to the Euro and the Internet), although there's a dark undercurrent bubbling beneath. It feels both familiar and unsettling. The "romcom" tag isn't quite right, and yet it is a romantic comedy, just between two "kept" people. I found it witty and charming and sexy, but I could also see people absolutely abhorring it for various reasons. Then again, I almost always like Audrey Tautou, so there's that. Pierre Salvadori directed and co-wrote.
