Just watched this gem of a movie again, it does occupy a space in my rather extensive DVD collection (the perk of being a film major, you only OWN dope shit). Given terrible reviews by the French press, i saw this in theaters in Paris when it came out (mostly becasue of the director whom i am quite a fan of, Luc Besson, and Jamel Debouze is a funny dude too). I didn't expect the movie to make me feel the way it did, it truly is a beautiful. I won't spoil it, but basically its about a guy learning to be able to love himself, with a little help from above (in the form of a BANGIN Danish model). I love that Rie Rassmussen (who is a professional model by profession) has an accent, makes her basically irresistible (i guess i have a thing for accents...) The cinematography in this film is beautiful too, all shot in black and white in Paris durng the month of August (when all the residents leave the city on vacation). So, get your ass to Blockbuster or Netflix of whatever the fuck you use and watch this, i guarantee you won't regret it.
TRAILER
This woman (Anja Garbarek) did most of the soundtrack, she's Icelandic, like the chilled-out version of Bjork sans the swan dress...this is the "single" from the soundtrack...
