Claude Lelouch’s ode to the ‘train station novel’ is a perfectly balanced genre blend of romance and suspense thriller that shifts gears like an Aston Martin on Route One.
Dominique Pinon ("Delicatessen") plays Louis, a self-proclaimed ghostwriter who may be an escaped serial killer fond of sleight-of-hand magic tricks.
Louis rescues damsel-in-distress Huguette (Audrey Dana) after she’s been abandoned by her fiancé at a gas station on her way to introduce her would-be husband to her provincial family.
Huguette also has a possible double identity as either a prostitute or a hairdresser.
Lurking in the film’s core is Fanny Ardant as successful novelist Judith Ralitzer, whose upcoming book promises to put the icing on her career.
This 41st film from the director of the Palme d’Or winner "A Man and a Woman" (1966), is that scarce type of movie made with an overflowing joy of cinema that’s meant to be savored and enjoyed.
Rated R. 103 mins.
