The hype and the expectations were huge - Vanessa Paradis, a cultural icon, coupled with Gerard Depardieu, also an icon. Finally, it was the return of Jean Becker after a ten year absence (his previous film, L'ete meutrier, made a star out of Isabelle Adjani - could he do the same for Vanessa - she of limited vocal skill, but nevertheless, hugely popular?). I can't say enough about this exceptional film. The first five minutes will have you hooked. Vanessa's brilliant, the music's wonderful (mind you, she doesn't contribute to the soundtrack). An absolute winner of a film!

Elisa de Becker, pas mal, mais pas transcendental, à voir une fois.
