Lelouch is now 71 years old, and I bet he's never had as much fun with a film. Roman de Gare threads plots and characters and twists together like a demented weaver.

Reviews for Roman de Gare
Top CriticLelouch and his longtime writing partner, Pierre Uytterhoeven, slyly exploit and subvert audience expectations.
05/30/08
Top CriticI think I understand the alternative realities of the plot, and I concede the loose ends are tied up, sort of, but I didn't care.
05/23/08
Top CriticDon't go to the theater expecting too much and you can't help but leave with a smile on your face.
05/22/08
Top CriticLelouch's deft touch with various cinematic styles, however surface, enables him to interweave pastoral elegy, quirky social comedy and thriller with fluid ease.
05/22/08
Top CriticThe movie is more entertaining than it is logical; its narrative leaps are sometimes ahead of our ability to believe them. But as the compellingly enigmatic Pierre, Pinon keeps us rapt.
05/16/08
Top CriticPinon and Dana are so striking together.
05/16/08
Top CriticIf you're willing to go along with it, as I was, then being manipulated -- or at least actively misled -- becomes a pleasure.
05/16/08
Top CriticIt's the smartest and best suspense movie you're likely to see for a while.
05/09/08
Top CriticA glossy, enjoyable thriller that isn't quite as tricky or Hitchcockian as it wants to be, Roman de Gare gets by on high style and nice central performances by rubber-faced Dominique Pinon and Audrey Dana.
05/01/08
Top CriticA sly catalog of deceits and a gentle commentary on slippery creativity and desire.
04/30/08
Top CriticLelouch's film is the cinematic equivalent, enjoyable fluff that your mind will discard after the closing credits -- but worth seeing nevertheless.
04/25/08
Top CriticThe story's Hitchcockian plot loses steam quickly, though Pinon's salty presence keeps things from getting totally bloodless.
04/25/08
Top CriticThe twists and convolutions of the film’s beginning and end enable a middle that is dizzying domestic comedy.
04/25/08
Top CriticDespite the superb acting and wonderfully sly dialogue, Roman de Gare can't tie all its bows neatly enough to be truly satisfying.
04/24/08
Top CriticDespite all my reservations, I think it is worth seeing, though I do not approve of all the trickery involved.
04/24/08
Top CriticThe term 'Hitchcockian' has become overused in recent years, but here is a movie to which it deserves to be applied.
04/22/08
Top CriticThe problem with Roman de Gare is that the tale grabs you more than the telling.
04/21/08
Top CriticWith a winning combination of tension, romance and humor and picturesque locations from Paris to Burgundy’s vineyards to the seashore at Cannes, the film is a Francophile’s feast.
04/17/08
Top CriticIt's vintage Lelouch, a cinematic page-turner racing from chic winery to hardscrabble farm to sleek yacht on the Mediterranean.
