Jeux D'Enfants

A big hit in France back in 2003, directed by Yann Samuell (who apparently is releasing an English adaptation of the Korean movie My Sassy Girl), starring Guillaume Canet (aka Diane Kruger's ex-husband) and Marion Cotillard.

Julien and Sophie were best friends ever since they were kids, probably thanks to a game of dares they played. One would give the other a dare, and if it's accomplished, a tin can with a carousel picture painted on it would be passed, and he would, in turn, give the other a dare. On and on it went, until they were adults. This game that they played actually became bigger, and then it began dictating their lives.

Not gonna ramble on with the synopsis because it will give the whole thing away. Okay, so I just saw this film a few days ago and I absolutely loved it. What a charming film! A unique romantic comedy, with a twist. Guillaume Canet is hot (looked a lot like Patrick Dempsey, but hotter) and Marion was so so so pretty. They storyline was so interesting and upbeat, it charmed you. Even though the ending could leave you confused, but let's not bother that. This is still one great French film.

9 / 10.
