In this movie the director tells a contemporary fable in which he revisits the thousand possible lives of an everyday man with their succession of facts, dreams, hopes, disappointments, fears, feelings and emotions. The soundtrack is the red thread that binds them into a single narrative, and the trumpet is the instrument that consents the recollection and reflection.

The narrated journey is the path taken by the main character to find himself and is at times realistic and at times imaginary: like in our reflections situations overlap with dreams.

The result is a pleasant, poetlc, romantic and well structured film in which there is no lack of hilarity and sense of humour. The gracefulness with which Lelouch caresses his memories and his dreams is truly remarkable. Last but not least to be appreciate is the tribute to Lino Ventura one of the artists with whom the director collaborated in his greatest hits.

This movie is absolutely humourless and quite boring. I feel a deep disappointment about it. No sense of humour, no sense of crime no infidelity nothing to tell. Which should be the plot? Nothing to be remembered. Good actors, quite good music, fantastic Parisian scenes but nothing makes any sense. What happened to that Woody Allen director of magical and dreamful movies we all were in love with ? He seems having lost his gift to make us laugh for a long while. The movie is already too long cause nothing on the stage catches the viewers eyes . No emotions, nothing to laugh or cry for, nothing to do with usual Woody's filmography.
