No disappointment at all from Klapisch, usual multi-character story is perhaps more focused than usual, with a smaller spread of characters. Romain Duris moves to NYC to be near kids as ex Kelly Reilly has found an American. Naturally he marries a Chinese girl (Shuya Chang) to get citizenship. His lesbian friend Cécile De France is having his baby, with lover Sandrine Holt. And his other ex Audrey Tautou wants to come out and visit. Smaller spread of characters? Maybe not...
Fantastic scene when all characters, sundry lovers and children converge simultaneously on apartment that Immigration cops are inspecting...
The French title is so much better... Written in a way that doesn't tie everything up neatly, and featuring some cameos from famous dead philosophers! Most enjoyable.
Photographed by - gasp! - a woman, Natasha Braier, who also shot Somers Town for Shane Meadows.
