An interesting study of three men who are friends, in different marital situations, and who have different approaches to love and happiness. It explores fidelity and what constitutes happiness within the family unit. Charlotte Gainsbourg is lovely in this as Gabrielle, wife of Vincent (Yvan Attal). Some bizarre games transpire between these two and the cover art is taken from one of those playtimes. Lots of interesting camera work, a lively script, and some lovely actors keep things from becoming too trite, but it's not all that deep either. Mildly entertaining at best.

this is a really realistic story and fine acting especially by the core cast. The only problem i had with it is the ending seems to be inserted smack dab in the middle of the story, which left me a bit confused. Its a bittersweet tale about marriage; an old subject to be sure, but refreshing with this french perspective. Enjoy!

i really enjoyed this film's cross-section of people dealing with various facets of coupledom, love, fidelity, marriage, etc. the elevator ride with johnny depp was quite poetic and a wonderful close to the film.

"<i>Stop Yelling! And stop boxing, people will think I beat you!</i>" <a href="http://s172.photobucket.com/albums/w25/EarthlyAlien/?action=view¤t=ART_NP_happily_040805.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w25/EarthlyAlien/ART_NP_happily_040805.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> A delightful French film about the different shades of love and lust as experienced by a married couple and the husband's two best friends. Like Yvan Attal's previous <i>My Wife is an Actress</i>, the film is neither comedy nor drama but an iridescent blending of the two, like the complex sky of a Turner painting. Attal's psychological insights and his skill with actors draw us into the characters' lives, in ways that are never less than sympathetic, and he's becoming a damn good filmmaker; his camerawork is always loose, fluid and intent on discovery; it adores Charlotte Gainsbourg at all times and lets characters' moments together and alone unfurl easily and casually in a way that Hollywood seems to want to avoid like failure. The sort of frothy, amusing and tremendously provocative Parisian romantic comedy that Eric Rohmer used to do so well.
