Bon Voyage is a film with a combination of story lines, though I think it is best described as a romantic historical adventure. Set in France during the second World War, this film brings together colourful characters each struggling to take their own path. Although set in dark times, there is an element of humour and some excellent chase scenes. Although thick with action, the movie is not complicated and it gets the pacing right most of the time. (However, some of the development of characters could be exaggerated more and the film could easily be longer.) The music and cinematography are also well done, and this is a type of movie that is enjoyable and difficult to find in today's world. It is thoroughly enjoyable.
In summary, the plot centres around a young French actress, who is prone to making mistakes and who knows how to use men. As a result of her actions, an innocent man is punished, and she has to live with the consequences of her actions, although harsh.
As a story and as a work of art, Bon Voyage is enjoyable. However, some of the characters could have developed more and the pacing could have been slower in some places. It's a good film, but it does cram a lot into a couple of hours, and because of this, the whole point of the film (in the conclusion) seems to be overlooked somewhat. Despite this, it is enjoyable and worth watching on an evening.
