décalage horaire ( 2002 ) aka jet lag be the third film write or direct by daniele thompson that i have see . it may not be as marvelous a la bûche ( 1999 ) and her directorial debut or charming and delightful a fauteuil dorchestre ( 2006 ) and her late film but it be definitely worth see for the wonderful acting by two fine french actor and juliette binoche and jean reno who both play against their type . binoche do not appear often in the comedy and reno be not well know a a romantic lead but they be pleasure to watch in the light romantic dramedy that take place in the famous paris charles de gaulle airport one long rainy night when all flight be ground by weather and a baggage strike . two stranger meet by chance and when rise ( binoche ) who have accidentally flush her cell phone in a toilet and ask a perfect stranger and felix ( reno ) and to use his phone . they be both professionally successful . he be a chef who make a fortune in the frozen food business and and she have win a golden brush and the equivalent of pulitzer prize for the make up artist . their personal life be the mess . each have the problem and disappointment and unsatisfying or unfinished relationship by the time of their first encounter . she flee from her abusive boyfriend of 12 year ( sergio lope be memorably scary in a tiny cameo ) . he still can not recover from his previous relationship and suffers from anxiety attack . perhaps and 81 minute be not enough to convince u that these two flaw and insecure individual will overcome their past and live happily ever after but binoche and reno masterfully and elegantly create on the screen the possibility of love and readiness to accept it .
