This is the very finest movie I have seen in years! Josiane Balasko, as The Hedgehog/Concierge/Mme. Michel was nothing short of magnificent. I loved that the little girl, Paloma, actually "got" Mme. Michel right away, although others did not see her for who she really was. The Hedgehog ends up saving three lives,including that of a goldfish, in the end. Her unconventional looks provided the perfect foil for anyone who thinks a hero must be dashing and handsome.
On another note, I am suffering from advanced, inoperable cancer. This movie took me away from the pain for a while, and transported me back into life again. Thank you, Mme. Balasko, for making me believe in you.
