A thoroughly enjoyable film; Jaoui's portrayal of the worldly-wise-gal-who-always-falls-for-the-wrong-guy is superb, and the other principals are excellent as well. The plot--Philistine shows he's not so benighted after all--is nothing new, even in French cinema, but it's all in the way it's done: in this film, perceptively and subtly. An impressive directorial debut for Jaoui.
