A brilliant film. A joyous, crazy film about a young man who has always confused dreams and reality and inhabits a world where the two merge. We see a world which works on the principles of his childish imagination, with cameras and cars made of cardboard, time machines which go forward or backward one second, and revenge fantasies lived out.

But at its heart, it’s a beautiful love story between Stephane the Dreaming Inventor and Stephanie the Shy Artist. One critic called it the year’s ultimate date movie, and Nicole and I concur.

It’s a really good movie, so ingenious, and with a beautiful scenography, costumes and decors! The idea is crazy, but magical, I regret by heart that there are a few movies like this one!!!
