Après Vous - 2003 - 6/10
Late night, taking a shortcut, a head waiter notices a suicide attempt.
He intervenes - rescues, if you will - and takes responsibility for the man.
Lesson 1) Don’t take shortcuts. Lesson 2) Mind your own business.
The wannabe suicide is a hopeless mess. No job, no place to live, no self esteem.
Crucially, his girlfriend recently dumped him.
Just like you or I, the waiter sets out to rebuild the guy’s life.
Cotton candy, French fluff. Not too talky, but certainly strains believability.
