Alguien, En Algún Lugar

Good atmosphere and good performance by artists..the two main characters are interesting..

"Deux Moi" is another remarkable example of contemporary French cinema. This film presents a captivating dual story, featuring two individuals seeking solace in their tumultuous lives, but unable to meet despite their proximity as neighbors. Rémy Pelletier, brilliantly played by François Civil, isolates himself while Mélanie Brunet, played by Ana Girardot, desperately seeks happiness through fleeting encounters. The contrast between their approaches skilfully underlines the complexity of human relationships.

The pace of the film is perfectly suited to the subject matter, with a deliberately slow pace that allows for in-depth exploration of the characters and their emotions. However, although François Civil's interpretation is impeccable, I remain mixed about the acting of Ana Girardot, whose style fails to convince me. Despite this, Civil continues to shine with his nuanced interpretation of a man in the grip of depression, confirming his status as a talented actor in French cinema.

In conclusion, "Deux Moi" is a remarkable film that should not be missed. Its sensitive exploration of themes of isolation and the search for human connection makes it a captivating and deeply moving work. I highly recommend it to all fans of French cinema looking for an enriching cinematic experience.

Or alone together? I mean are you completely alone if you live in the city? You are surrounded by so many people - and yet even if you are with someone you can feel lonely. This is about a man and a woman, who have issues of their own ... and live so close to each other, that you are just waiting for them to meet each other.

But the movie is not letting you off the hook that easy. It lets you dangle ... it teases you a lot. It gives you so many things ... and yet not what you expect. Even the "cat episode" does not play out the way you may think it will. So while this isn't your standard romantic movie, maybe that is exactly why you may like this more than those other ones. This feels way closer to real life in more than one sense ... will it matter if it has a happy end? You decide once you watched it and how you feel about the way this ... decides to end things.

Majority of the film are nice pictures, but silent, of someone walking or looking far away. In between, very few dialogues, with few words.

Don't watch this expecting a movie filled with life like L'auberge Espagnole. It's almost a documentary about the life of most people in urban areas nowadays. Alone, looking at their phones, and seeing a psychotherapist to try fixing their sleep issues. I could have looked at myself instead of watching this.

You might like it for the nice shots of Paris life, if you're a big fan of the city. But come to the movie with a lot of energy, because it will drain it.

Deux Moi is a nice movie, relatable and pertinent to our times of too much information but little communication, but the story is flat, lukewarm and kind of boring. The characters are girl/boy next door (literally) and we get to know them mainly through their sessions with their shrinks. They are cute, but not interesting or engaging enough. Little happens that will surprise or enthrall the audience, while the movie navigates through its mundane events towards an easily predictable and mildly satisfying end. I watched it because I loved François Civil in Le Chant du Loup and because I love la langue de Molière, but I was somewhat dissapointed with this one.
