Travel agency receptionist Jeanne (Virginie Ledoyen and the singing voice of Elise Caron) is always on the lookout for men, and she thinks she's found the perfect guy in Olivier (Mathieu Demy, son of musical director Jacques Demy) -- who turns out to be HIV-positive. Shown at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival, the film is also known as Jeanne and the Perfect Guy. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
