5.0 out of 5 stars Hard Film to Describe, but Simply Wonderful!, December 8, 2007

By	HappyDaze11 - See all my reviews

I saw this film on an Air France jet coming back to the US in 2000. I had never heard of Sandrine Bonnaire or Jacques Gamblin before this film, but now I have tried to see every Sandrine Bonnaire film I can find. I actually bought a region free DVD player (they do have them, they are legal) so I could watch this film back in 2001 when released.

Sandrine is a superb actress and to my eye, absolutely exquisite. She looks soulfully out of her car (Sandrine fans know what that looks like) as she sees a lighthouse and remembers meeting and spending time with an impromptu theater group that did certain made to order skits at her company's party and meeting. Jacques Gamblin plays the object of her interest and she, for a while, performs a skit or two with the others at a high priced wedding, etc. (The young hostess of the hotel where the group stays is hysterical).

The theme of the film is that Sandrine keeps missing a train, plane, coach bus, etc., that would take her back to Toulouse and her family, so she ends up spending two days and one night with Gamblin, dragging around this lighthouse that she was given as a present. The music, their manners, the film itself just sets a calm, warm mood - good memories of just being yourself with a new flame and being relaxed - this is whats hard to describe. The acting and interplay between the two of them cannot be described. There are no films made in the USA that evoke these feelings. Mademoiselle probably cost peanuts to make but for a film that has no violence, no sex scenes, very little cursing, and no special effects - it packs a big punch.

This is an adult film because of the type of emotions the film evokes, not because of any content at all. If you put some 14 year olds in front of it they would be out asleep in 10 minutes.

Watch this film with a bottle of wine after having a good day in the sun with your significant other and just let this film wash over you.

You just may end up getting more of Sandrine's films - she also plays opposite Gamblin in another film.
