Hors de Prix



A must watch for film lovers. I am glad I managed to catch this film before it is out of cinema next week. I think I am a fan of european films. Somehow, I fell in love with almost every european film I watched except the psycho film of another film of Audrey Tautou, "He loves me, he loves me not". Then again, even though it freaks me out real badly (just the mere thought of it), nonetheless I admit I am awe-struck by the style of how the plot unfolds. The genius twist to the story is what I like about the film. I was real sad when I didn't manage to catch "Paris je t'aime" the last time.

Anyhow, back to the film. I must say it stays true to the european style. I simply love this film because I feel that this is a different kind of romantic story. However, it is not the usual classic hollywood romance where they portray the "maybe it can happen to me" kind of story. This romance is somewhat making you feel it cant happen to me and yet you cant help but feel that "Oh! it is so romantic". I like the way how it interprets the definition of romance in a different perspective. A naughty and cheerful yet cute and sweet feeling but the scriptwriter does not stretch too far to make you feel like it is so idealistic kind of romance. It is definitely playful and light-hearted story. Definitely my favourite next to Amelie that Audrey Tautou acted in.

This is an alternative to the classic love story "The Notebook". Audrey Tautou's acting is superb here. She has really a hot bod and all her dresses in the film are really very nice. The settings are mostly holidays getaway so even make me wanna go for a beach holiday. The actor is not the typical goodlooking guy but he grows on you as the movie proceeds on. I think he is charming esp the way he looks at her. The tempo of the story is just nice. It is not slow at all but rather things happens at a consistent pace.

I like the part when he shows off his new watch that his woman bought for him to Audrey Tautou. When she asked what's the time, he replied "nine diamonds past". Witty!
