J'attendrai le suivant...

"I'll Wait For The Next One" is a French short comedy drama film. It was made in 2002. A woman walks to the station with a lonely expression. When she gets on the train, a man also gets on it to introduce himself and says that he is looking for love to passengers in a loud voice. The woman has a puzzled look at first, but she comes to be interested in what he says and sympathize with his view of love. It is a story with a surprise ending. The title implies that the women waits for her destiny and I think she is so bored in her daily life so that she wants to believe the one and fate. However, I suppose the man makes fun of the women who are looking for partners seriously and I don't think it is a funny joke. I sympathized with her in the film. Furthermore, I have empathic embarrassment to watch this film. I believe people who care what other people think much would feel this embarrassment. I think the film is worth watching because it gives the audience the lesson that there some things are too good to be true.

I'll Wait For the Next One is sad film.

There is a single women. She has hopes of being with someone. She ride a train. Suddenly, a man began to speak. He is a single man, and looking for a partener. He said If you are impressed by my speech, Would you like to get off with me at the next station? Then, she is impressed and get off the train...

In this film, She has no dialogue, but her expression shows all her emotions. Her action is amaizing. It's a very short moment in life, but It had a huge impact on her life. This film deal with love. The issue of love is very important for single women. This film reveals the fact. It makes me a little sad. I reccomend it.

I'll Wait for the Next One sets itself up as a cute little comedy skit, and it delivers on that premise but also surprises you with an incredibly moving finale. Four minute comedies are not supposed to be as moving as this film is, it's funny, charming, and heartbreaking all at the same time, showing you your emotions in a combination that they are not generally found. I can't recommend this movie enough. By the end of the diminutive film you feel like you have known the characters for years, especially the lead man and the woman looking for love, probably because they so perfectly represent.

The look on the man's face and the woman's face at the end of the film are brief moments of sheer performing brilliance rarely seen, especially in a short film, which itself is rarely seen. Seek this one out, you will laugh and you will cry, and most of all you will be moved.

Quite literally an emotional ride, "I'll Wait for the Next One" offers the promise of a fateful encounter only to be challenged abruptly by a surprise ending. The surprise works because our feelings are channeled through the eyes of the woman, whom in becoming the dupe of the male perpetrator forces viewers along to share in her struggle. The film thus raises many questions regarding the nature of the conflict it depicts: why is it not surprising that the man is the perpetrator and the woman is the dupe? Why are we drawn to believe the man's story, and what does his final action reveal about the nature of men as societal beings? Is the ending a fault of the woman or of the man? If the woman is at fault, do women need to just be more careful in an overtly oppressive society? Or if the man is at fault, does he need to be more considerate of the extent to which his actions inflict damage upon society? The depiction is that both the woman and the man are at the extreme ends of their respective depths of capacity for emotional sentiment, and it is a very crude depiction that does little to progress away from the repression inherent to patriarchal societies. However, the responsibility to answer the questions posed by the film lies in the viewer, and as a result so too does the responsibility to make any changes in the real world away from what we see on screen.

'J'attendrai le suivant' is a comedy short film set in a French metro. The film opens with the main character, a woman, walking through the city to catch the metro, looking a little lonely as she gazes languidly at a couple passing her on the escalator. She boards the arriving train, and as it departs, a man begins to tell her a funny story about himself. He looks for a woman to keep him company, to change his boring routine, and talks about his attractiveness and the kind of woman he wants. The passengers around him laugh, but he turns to the passengers and seriously encourages them to get off at the next station if they are interested.

When watching the film, I want you to focus on the facial expressions of the protagonist. While the conversation unfolds in the metro train, depictions of her listening in are frequently included. Although she has no dialogue at all, her facial expressions surpass those of the other characters and you can easily understand her emotions. (I favour her forlorn, angry expressions.)

It was strange that although the other side of the boarding gate was dark (there was no platform) in the scene where the protagonist got on the train, the platform is visible at the back in the scene where her expression is shown immediately afterwards (the camera should be facing the opposite side of the boarding gate...). Apart from that, however, the camera work was felt to be good because it was from the protagonist's side to capture the man developing his personal story. Above all, the acting and story are beyond reproach and well worth watching.
