this be an excellent little film about the loneliness of the single man . phillipe harel a notre hero be a bit like an amalgam of robert de niro in taxi driver and inspector clouseau ( in his stoicism ) and chauncey gardiner in be there ( also peter seller ) . he be single yet doesn not have a clue how to attract the opposite sex in fact and he really make no effort at all . he have a stoicism and fatalism that defy any hope of ever achieve coupledom his friend jose garcia a tisserand be in the same plight yet at least make a brave effort to transcend his extended virginhood ( he 28 and admits he never have sex ) . very good outdoor shot of paris and rouen and where the two software people travel on business . they try various nightclub and place but all to no avail . my theory be that theyre try the wrong place they go to more or less youth nightclub while they should try the type that have old people and more their own age . harel increasingly becomes isolated and do a little de niro effort and a in taxi driver and urge his friend or colleague to go and stab some bloke who pull a nice look girl in the nightclub . worth watching .
