A French surprise

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

I’ve watched multitude of French films but this week I happen to see Hunting and gathering (aka. Ensemble, c’est tout), Its quite different for a French film. No twists and turns in this one, It’s quite predictable and has a clichéd ending. But none the less its a great story of love and friendship.

Paulette the grandmother (Françoise Bertin) of the character Franck (Guillaume Canet - This guy reminds me of Patrick Dempsey), really steals the show, she made me wonder about what I personally will go through when I’m her age. Paulette is an emotional anchor to the movie.

Hunting and Gathering

Audrey Tautou stars as Camille Fauque a near anorexic office cleaner (”Surface Engineer”) who happens to move into the same apartment as the other two characters Franck and Philibert due to circumstances, Her performance feels quite real and she completely justifies the character.

The Movie sure made me hungry with all that food and classy Restaurants and guess what one of the main character is a cook, well I ended up having a nice filling steak at Belgian beer cafe after the movie.

Well if you really love feel good love stories with a happily ever after type ending then this is definitely for you.
