Overall Call:
A brilliant import from France tells the type of love story the American public is starved for and never receives. The direction and acting are outstanding. The cinematography is first rate making this film a top-notch home video. The story outline is simple - a love story. The inner textures help create a multi-layered story that develops the simple plot into a full and richly designed script. In the mood for a great love story, see Girl on the Bridge.
