Love Etc. (1996)

Member Rating:

Though unemployed, Pierre is buoyant, outgoing, affable, and experienced with women. This last is a point he never fails to drive home to Benoit, his gentle, hapless best friend. In an effort to compensate for his romantic failures, Benoit turns to the newspaper personals ads, and meets Marie. Even though his courtship of her is uninspiring, Marie agrees to marry Benoit. Naturally, Pierre meets Marie often. As he gets to know her, he discovers that he is recklessly in love with her, and he arranges his life around seeing her and being near her. He is so overtaken with feeling that he even corners total strangers in order to speak of his love. Benoit -completely unaware of this- suggests that he keep Marie company while he is at work. When everything comes out into the open, the friendship of the two men governs the outcome. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Charlotte Gainsbourg never dissapoints; she is a natural accomplished actress with a lovely vulnarability that will keep you hooked t'ill the end. The rest of the cast is equally compelling. Great acting, good plot; you gotta love those typical French love triangles! You haven't experienced the true value of love until you feel all of its shades, from misery to exctasy and back again. I really liked this movie, I LIKED IT A LOT!!!

I can remember when the French made really fine movies. Oh, well, our film industry has gone downhill too. But American movies rarely seem this aimless and dull. I never made it to the end. I got tired of waiting for something--anything--to happen.
