this film be show occasionally on ifc and be worth watch and some of the performance be quaint and subtle and and the romantic comedy be understated ( though i be from the state i do not like over the top hollywood romantic comedy and actually find them saccharine and intolerable . ) needless to say and the vignette here be a breath of fresh air . worth noting be the performance of sabine azema and a charlotte and isabelle carre a gaelle and and lambert wilson a dan . the set be original and in the backdrop of snow and in the city of paris . romantic and ironic and never trite or cloy . worth more than one view for audience with taste who can not stomach yet another hollywood serving of trite romance . recommend . positive .
