I'm not French, but thank's God I'm also not an American who has to watch the boring love stories produced by Hollywood, where for years the screenwriters have not been able to come up with a unique script and have gone back to making insulting remakes of European films. This wonderful and heart-pounding French made film was written in collaboration with the French Icelandic screenwriter SOLVEIG ANSPACH, who passed away from breast cancer (ringing?) in 2015. At the end of the film, the subtitles honor her memory. And now that everything has been said about the background, it is definitely a gem. Delicate direction in close-up to catch the smallest expressions of the actors who all but all, and not only the main ones, play the characters magnificent. The soundtrack, some will say that it helps the tears to flow is perfect. And for those skeptics who wonder if such an impossible love is possible between a 45 year old man and a 71 year old woman then yes. Look around you, maybe it's rare, but it exists. Maybe some of them are the rich old woman's pursuit of money, but some of them are pure love, sometimes tragic like in this movie.
