I was pretty bored through this one. Seemed like a bunch of stuff was happening and I didn't really care all that much.
Polished, charmingly romantic French comedy/drama about the yearnings of an ordinary young woman and the rich and famous celebrities she encounters in her job as a waitress at a famous Paris bistro. A richly layered slice-of-ideal-Parsian-life, a film about love and art (and food...( read more)
