    Subtle masterpiece

    This is a wonderful, joyful and smart movie. Very well acted. The chemistry between Edouard and Caroline is astonishing, and she's so pretty and desirable. I was pleasantly surprised with the sexiness of it all : the tension of desire is almost palpable during the whole movie, and not only between the protagonists. To watch this movie was a beautiful experience. Pure cinematic art.
