Member Rating:  
Part romantic comedy and part black comedy, director Yann Samuell's 2003 feature film debut Jeux d'Enfants (Love Me if You Dare) follows the exploits of two young would-be lovers as they go from childhood to adulthood with themselves as the greatest hurdle to their own happiness. Julien and Sophie first meet at the age of eight when both are undergoing great trauma: Julien is watching his mother die and Sophie has become the focus of intense hazing at the hands of some fellow schoolmates. On one fateful day, Julien decides to stick up for Sophie and pulls a practical joke on her tormentors. Henceforth, the two embark on a close friendship that revolves around daring each other to pull increasingly audacious practical jokes, rather than on the seemingly obvious intimate relationship they seem dangerously close to discovering at any moment. Jeux d'Enfants was selected for inclusion into the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival as well as that same year's Telluride International Film Festival. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

    I was captivated from the start to the conclusion of this lovely yet dark film. The wonderful music made the movie even more satisfying. The characters and plot were superb. The chemistry between Sophie and Julien seemed palpable. Other reviewers have noted that no one makes love stories like the french. I heartily concur. This film is as good as cinema gets. I'm still humming Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose". Tres bien!

    If one had never seen a romantic movie which adhered to the typical 'formula' and patterns, (and there have been thousands of them) then one might have constructed a movie like this. every aspect, scene, bit of dialogue, storyline, etc seemed to be thought out from a fresh, extremely creative perspective. a very inventive movie! the dichotomy of how we come to 'like' two often very unkind people is the most amazing accomplishment of this movie. we were glued to the screen, always engaged and never bored. great acting!
