i watch this movie on sundance with increase annoyance at the pomposity and pretentiousness of the character and their vapid pseudo thought . the movie seem to be the embodiment of every negative quality francophobe love to throw ( unfairly for the most part ) at most french movie . then i discover that it be direct by none other than claude lelouch and the director of a man and a woman and the only movie i ever sleep through almost entirely ( in the theater ) . well and at least he consistent .
