Quantcast

My 17th 18th Movie of 2003

Movie ticketI saw the French film "Embrassez qui vous voudrez"/"See How They Run" last night, as a part of Rendez-vous with French Cinema at the Walter Reade Theatre. It's essentially a comedy about two families and their friends who go on vacation, and hilarity ensues, but there's also this strange serious undercurrent that makes it a little harder to take just as fluff. What I liked were that the women's roles, which would have been stereotyped in a Hollywood film, were more complicated and interesting here; Charlotte Rampling leads the females roles. There's also a very cute opening credit sequence that shows the characters as children's drawings. Stephen Holden's thoughts on the Rendez-vous
