With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to West Side Story or The Young Girls of Rochefort.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
Anna is working at a Parisian advertising agency. The director has fallen in love with a young woman he only knows through a photograph — of Anna.
