Mr & Mme Adelman

French film of the highest level. Sensational. Very intelligent, funny, inspiring, original, directing, actors, dialogues. Not to be missed for those who love cinema.

"Shot with a nimble-fingered, compulsively twirling and rotating camera, MR & MRS ADELMAN freewheels in an almost mercurial form through the tonal discrepancies derived from a mishmash of components: a heady rom-com about a girl sets eyes on her Mr. Right and never let him go, a cynical satire on a writer's block (Victor's unpremeditated fixation with being Jewish, he even alters his bourgeois, Gentile surname de Richemont to Adelman), fame and egregious ego, an astringent matrimonial drama plumbing a husband's sexual frustration and a wife's desperation to hold onto the breadwinner of the family, or a reportage on gender politics within a nuclear family, but between Victor and Sarah, the one who gets the oneupmanship is evident along the way, as the story is as much an affirmation of a wife's high-wire maneuver of molding her husband into the man she wants (if not necessarily she worships) him to be, even without that final volte-face, as a no-holds-barred dissection of a tumultuous relationship that often blights a middle-class union where self-efficacy is foregrounded."

A movie as we never seen in the french landscape. A beautiful story of love. Doria Tillier is a great actress. Furthermore, the twist at the end show the genius in the Bedos' direction.

An entertaining, smart, funny movie. Well directed, great acting, good production. Another dozen of these in the same year and the French have once again a film industry! One thing's for sure Nicolas Bedos is one talented guy.

Saw this on a long haul flight: beautiful love story, well directed and put together. In essence it is the story of a couple from their acquaintance till death. Great fun, laughs and tears! It also takes you through the different phases historically and especially in France - as I grew up there, the familiarity might be somewhat biased - so really enjoyed it. Absolute recommendation to see this movie!
