This is the message that I took from this film. The filmmaker fulfilled the dream of making a film in Paris. It's that simple. Lots of clichés - Claire's pied-a-terre apartment, the dark café, country house, the bridges, Dad's black girlfriend (I'm African American), and the quiet between the weak "follow your dreams" dialog made the film seem like a checklist. The character of Julien seemed aloof throughout the entire film.
Sorry, but the actress who played Claire seemed anything but a ballet dancer - and why make her that? Yet, she seemed more French than Julien. The sudden decision at the end of the film seemed unrealistic, not even feasible for someone of her circumstance. Those who do not follow French cinema might enjoy this. The actor had a nice voice.
