Ein Augenblick Liebe

The actors are doing their job, but not more. The feelings are only on the surface and never take off. Lot's of nice looking and unconvincing footage swirls by showing very little of how these people are supposed feel. Anaemic to say the least.

The main characters themselves and their story is boring to follow. Even the music picks are devoid of real emotion, except maybe the end track. There is only one plot twist or some kind of surprise and it's not convincing. The best scenes were when the main character's relationships to their children were in focus, where I found them more believable than in their relationship with each other.

If you want a French bland feel good love story I guess this will be all right, but there is little inspiration to be found and very little if anything to reflect over. I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this one.

So brilliant.

I am not a french romance films lover, I prefer hard and brutal crime flicks. But this film is very amazing, brilliant, smart and so awesome, in terms of acting. I don't really like Cluzet, he annoys me, but he is nevertheless a great actor, and not so Young. He started in the early eighties, so did Sophie Marceau, who is also here at her peak. She has never been so beautiful. At nearly fifty years old, she seems twenty years younger. I think she is one of the most gorgeous actress in the world. And not because she is french...

The story itself is the oldest scheme in the world: a man meets a woman. But it is so beautifully made. With a touch of sweet bitterness.

A little masterpiece for this kind of topic.

I caught myself thinking, what is the character of Sophie Marceau doing with that older guy? And then I realized that the age gap, might not be as big as it "appears" to be. Sophie Marceaus looks are that incredible that they fooled me for a second. But it's not only about looks here. It's about much more.

The acting is on great level here and everyone involved really gets behind the story. A really good one, that has the central "what if" as a main point. You live your life and suddenly something (or in this case someone) comes up and throws you out of your usual "loop". As the movie says, you cannot be at all places at any time (or something to that effect), but where do you decide to be then? That's up to you (or the characters in that case) ... a different kind of love story, with a fresh take, which is good to see.

I love this movie so much. It's one of my favorites as long as L. O. L. By Lisa Asuelos too. Every detail, every scene, outfit and especially song choice is so beautiful. Every song from this film went directly into my favorite playlist and have remained so since a few years ago. I don't know, maybe I'm the target audience for this movie, but it's perfect to me and I stand by that. The director and actors really touched my soul, and I'm very grateful. Totally recommend this movie to anyone, but please, try to just enjoy the story and it's atmosphere.
