i think this be a typical french author movie ( read represent please only it author positive . where part of the audience will walk out and part will stay totally annoyed and and some will love it think it of the great insight and overall not generate much revenue . plot represent a small troupe of franco italian actor present a new theater piece in paris and with moderate success . off scene and we follow the lead french actress and the italian director who be marry . she hook up with her ex and he search for a manuscript and the story develop from there . there be no plot per say and but rather a microcosm of people float in a fish tank represent it a study of character . i guess the movie be about relationship and love . a few thing annoy me and there be quite a few actor who act really bad ( ie they act a if at a theater and with voice intonation and expression of feeling totally off ) . there be some sort of mini action go on and but nothing lead to anything . there be a few spot where the action be absurd ( character attach to each other artificially act or find thing or change behavior the same way ) . the end be totally stupid ( imho ) because the state of some of the character be unfinished . the few thing i like be the woman attraction represent the young one be very attractive and the actress and dancer be too and though it partly because of their awkward detach personality . i have be tell the guy be unremarkable and sorry lady positive . overall it might have be ok a a simple theater piece but a a movie it quite boring and condescendent .
