Twice Upon a Time (French 2006 - original title: “Desaccord Parfait”)
Story: Alice, a famous English actresss meets up with Louis, an equally famous French director 30 years after their famous abrupt breakup. The two had been one of the most glamorous and amorous couples in the 1970s.
Well crafted French comedy (more to my liking than OSS 117). Louis is brilliantly played by Jean Rochefort and is magnificently balanced with Alice’s (Charlotte Rampling) caustic and razor sharp wit and beauty. This is very reminiscent of 1950s films with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant trading intelligent barbs, quips, and wit. I wish more films were written and made today. This is a fun light comedy with a great cast.
Film: +++++ (5/5)
Movie: +++++ (5/5) highly entertaining and full of silver screen magic
