Populaire (2012)
7/10
Fresh and delightful French romance-comedy
1 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Another piece of delightful French cinematography, an entertaining romance-comedy with predictable twists and a happy ending that the viewer looks forward to and gratifies him/her fully. Set in the late fifties, the story may sound a little pretentious, in the presentation of the typewriter as the symbol of post-war renaissance, and there is may be some exaggeration in the often kitsch representation of those years, but the story and the mood are well consciously built, with the aim to appeal the viewer with pastel colours, predictable but entertaining situations, lulled by Debussy notes. The couple Rose-Louis is very convincing, delicate and amusing at the same time. So, if you need a pleasant, well made and well interpreted comedy, here you have one to enjoy.
