Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review In IHe Loves Me, He Loves Me Not/I the adorable Audrey Tautou from IAmelie/I plays the central role in a deceptive story of a rather unusual romance. It would spoil the film's clever design to reveal what happens halfway through, so let's just say that Tautou is cast as a winsome girl in the sunny town of Bordeaux whose relationship with a married doctor has more layers than first it seems. Samuel LeBihan, from IBrotherhood of the Wolf/I, plays the doctor, but it's the casting of cutie-pie Tautou that sets up the movie's gradually sinister undertow. Director Laetitia Colombani's inventive structure plays a satisfyingly tricky game with the audience, and may have some viewers going back to the beginning to make sure they saw what they thought they saw. Just don't go in expecting IAmelie, Deuxième Partie/I and you should find this an ingenious little number. I--Robert Horton/I

Audrey Tatou stars as Angelique a successful art student in love with an older married man, cardiologist Loic (Samuel le Bihan). We see her make plans for them and Tatou keeps promising us that they will soon be together, but then we see the story from Loic's perspective and the whole film changes. I won't go into anymore detail because that really spoilt it. Needless to say Tatou proves that she is certainly one of her generation's finest actors while Le Bihan equally good. Most impressive though is director Laetitia Colombani, especially considering that this was her feature length debut. Go and order it!! A brilliant story, brilliantly acted! March 27, 2003 Ms. H. M. Jones (West Midlands) 17 out of 17 found this review helpful There is not a huge amount you can saw about the story without giving the whole thing away and that is certaintly something I do not wish to do...pAudrey plays an art student who is deeply in love with a married man. She is attentive and caring, doing all she can to make this man happy. However his unwillingness to leave his wife begins to change Audrey as she becomes increasingly distressed and her character transforms beyond recognition and it is not until later on in the film that you discover the cause behind these changes. Audrey is thoroughly convincing and a truely remarkable actress, bringing you into the story straight away and not leaving you a shadow of a doubt that her words are true. pThe film combines comedic moments with serious drama beautifully as the story twists and turns. You will feel yourself swept into this film due to the brilliant acting, beautiful directing and outstanding script. The film is thoroughly moving, making you laugh, cry as well as think. Not only was the story thought provoking but it was also a very enjoyable cinematic experience. pI recommend this film to everyone especially those who love beautifully created scenes, a great story and a film with real depth of emotion. People who feel they do not like "arty" films or subtitled films are missing out on a real masterpiece. Excellent June 17, 2005 32 out of 34 found this review helpful For the first half of the film I thought I was simply watching an engaging, well-acted and well written love story. But the second half produced an excellent, and to my mind unexpected, twist in the tale. I thought this was quite original. At no point in this film was I bored and I always wanted to discover what the truth of the situation was. Very, very good film. The perfect film for Valentine#x27;s Day February 9, 2006 Joseph Haschka (Glendale, CA USA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT opened on Valentine#x27;s Day. It#x27;s the product of a twisted sense of humor. My wife and I loved it.pAudrey Tatou, the effervescent and funny-faced do-gooder of AMELIE, plays Angelique, a talented French art student in the throes of an affair with eminent cardiologist Lo#239;c (Samuel Le Bihan), who#x27;s two-timing his pregnant wife Rachel (Isabelle Carre). The film#x27;s very first scene shows Angelique amidst the blooms in a flower shop picking out the single, perfect rose for her beloved. (Hold this image!) Angelique dreams of having Lo#239;c for herself, but feels threatened by Rachel#x27;s pregnancy. Then, in short order, Rachel miscarries after being accidently struck by a motor scooter, and then has a serious falling out with her husband. Angelique is elated, and readies herself for a getaway to Florence with newly unencumbered lover. But, after Lo#239;c stands her up at the airport, Angelique wallows in the wrath of a woman scorned. Then, one of Lo#239;c#x27;s female patient#x27;s charges him with assault. Fiercely possessive even now, Angelique takes drastic action. However, after Rachel, a lawyer, comes to her estranged husband#x27;s aid, Angelique realizes that she#x27;s lost him forever and commits suicide by gassing herself with the kitchen oven.pHave I spoiled the plot? Ah, think again! As Angelique#x27;s EKG flatlines, the movie literally fast reverses to the opening scene at the florist and another story begins.pMs. Tatou again shows herself as the worthy successor to the delightful Audrey Hepburn. But if you#x27;re a male who, like me, wanted to take her AMELIE character home to meet Mom, perhaps you should rethink. And Le Bihan is excellent as the heartless cad. Or is he? (A cad, that is.)pNot since Nicole Kidman#x27;s THE OTHERS (2001) have I seen such a fiendishly clever use of misdirection and altered perspective. HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT is a deliciously wicked black comedy. And you#x27;d be surprised how prescription drugs can be utilized as an artist#x27;s medium. I cannot recommend this startling film too highly. Don#x27;t wait until next Valentine#x27;s Day to see it. Amélie's dark side..? January 28, 2003 11 out of 12 found this review helpful I had the pleasure of watching "He Loves me He Loves me not" under it's French title of "à la folie..pas de tout" in France last year and as I was still riding on an "Amélie" high at the time I fell in love with it immediately. Audrey Tatou gives a fantastic performance (though be warned that this is a film which is at times fairly dark and far removed from her role as eternal optomist and romantic Amélie Poulain) and depsite initially putting me in mind of Sliding Doors the film is highly original and frequently has you on the edge of your seat and has an amazing climax which leaves you practically begging for more. Expect the unexpected with He Loves me Not and you won't be disappointed! My must-see film for 2003. Showing reviews 1-5 of 36 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...8 Next »
