Movie review
Mademoiselle (2001)
Directed by Philippe Lioret
French filmmaker Philippe Lioret proves he can set forth a light yet insightful film that shows actors at their best, making viewers chortle with delight in the 2001 romantic comedy Mademoiselle.
With a timeline that barely covers two days, and told in flashback from Claire’s (Sandrine Bonnaire) point of view, the movie transports us to the carefree and joyful meeting of two people, yet, at the same time, manages to pull out tinges of melancholy and loss within us. Also, the film showcases the splendid –and not exaggerated- dose of situational humor (e.g. the improv scenes and the lighthouse gift). All in all, this light romcom does not fool us with promises of happily ever after, but offers us with the one ending so bittersweet, yet can be utterly closer to reality, at the very least.
