Belleville-Tokyo - 2010 - 5/10
Ostensibly a marriage in crisis story, do not let the side tale of revival movie house distract you.
The young wife works for two codgers who run the theater, while her marriage crumbles.
Yo yo husband leaves, returns, feeds her excuses a four year old could see through.
The phrase “love is blind” applies, and it is hard to work up sympathy.
The tale wanders around in circles. Husband is immature, wife is needy.
72 minutes of French piffle.
If, however, one perceives the couple and their marriage as artificial, the lopsided reflection of the arthouse cinema, then the story may hold more interest.
