It is a nice character study of two people locked into themselves in different ways, and the slow path they each take to recognize their interdependence.

Veteran actor Serrault and rising newcomer Seigner ... pitch their performances perfectly, skilfully underplaying to match Carion's understated direction.

Serrault's got all the appropriate nuances of this old codger down pat. I'm beginning to get the impression that it's who he is.

Offers proof that silences can speak volumes.

Top CriticMay linger in the mind as a postcard collection of alluring mountain scenery, but there's not much in the way of lingering alpenglow at movie's end.

What director and cowriter Christian Carion has done with the film is give us a genuine feel for the simple joys, disappointments and mind-numbing routine of rural life.

A dance to a post-war ditty shared by old man who misses the daughter he never knew--and a young woman who identifies him as the father of her imagined past.

A showcase for both the scenic splendor of the mountains and for legendary actor Michel Serrault, the film is less successful on other levels.

excluded me at a basic level from its opening scenes on; when it was over, I felt as though I'd never made it in

The Girl From Paris is as briskly unsentimental as it is humane about people and nature.
