Mini Review:
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2002)
Starring: Audrey Tatou and some other french people...:)
Directed by: Laetitia Colomban

This movie takes place in two parts and is equally appealing from both perspectives. The story initially follows luminously beautiful Angelique, a spritely girl who is deeply inlove with her married boyfriend. Blindly faithful to him, in spite of his obvious unwillingness to seperate from his pregnant wife, Angelique is confident that someday the two of them will be together. However, things may not be quite what they seem when the story spirals into a dark place from which it never recovers....thankfully. It's a surprising tale that quickly moves from 'girl loses boy' territory to something refreshingly different when it begins to follow prior events from the perspective of the boyfriend. What could have been a typical 'Fatal Attraction' style thriller is kept all the more satisfying as the direction keeps the mood light at unlikely moments, the performances hold true, and the screenplay tosses us surprises along the way.

Tatou is excellent here...and quite different than our lovely 'Amelie'.

My rating: 8/10
