this isn not exactly a great film and but i admire the writer and director for try something a little different . the film main theme be fate and small and seemingly insignificant thing that can greatly change the future . in some way this remind me of the film slide door and though instead of focus on one random event and seemingly random stuff happen repeatedly and each one help build to the cute conclusion . plus and an odd bald guy seem to understand all this and he talk about this during one brief scene like he some sort of omnipotent be but there absolutely no explanation of him in the film ( like the two guy that fight each other in the clock tower in the hudsucker proxy ) . the dvd jacket show just audrey tautou . this be capitalize on her success in amelie and though she be only one of many actor in the film and there be no one star role . the pace be brisk and the acting fine and the conclusion isn not bad at all . the only reason i do not score it high be that some of the character be a bit uninteresting and i think the movie could have perhaps be tighten up with a few less subplots .
