There’s a good page here about this movie. I must admit that at the end of the film I was thinking that Rémy was lucky to have started a relationship with a woman we’d seen briefly earlier in the film at a party and who looked both very attractive and interesting. Not that I didn’t like Louise or feel some sympathy for her. Saying “The one experience I’ve missed is loneliness, and the pain it causes”, and then desperately phoning people in her phone book when her plans for a Saturday night fall through shows that she doesn’t really know herself all that well though. Maybe after what happens in the course of the film that would change for her.

At the start of the film my heart sank at the sight of some dreary suburban setting. The setting is part of a joke against Rémy. I don’t watch French films to see some dreary suburban setting I thought. But pretty soon we’re in Paris and the scene is a bit more interesting even if it is the 1980s.

A good, interesting movie.
