if this be rubbish and we would be call it a vanity project . but and luckily and julie delpy be not only a good actor and but a fine writer and director . there be element of amelie and the classic woody allen comedy such a annie hall and manhattan and particularly in adam goldberg neurotic response to the chic scruffiness that be paris . this film have thing to say about the franco american culture clash and but say them in a gentle and affectionate way . until you have be to paris and it be difficult to realize just how much in love with all thing american the ( urban ) french actually be . until they encounter it face to face and when they find it so baffle that the only recourse be sarcasm and irony and in addition to lapse into french speak so fast that even some french speaker find it incomprehensible . there be also lots to say about relationship and how they work and or do not . if you be in a relationship and you will cringe with recognition . if you aren not and you will wonder whether you really ever want another one .
