Delicatesse
The beginning moves poetically but slowly along without enough humor for me. Audrey Tautou is gloriously beautiful on one hand but a little pouty and humorless on the other. Francois Damiens is such an earthy, awkward contrast to her. It's almost embarrassing at first. However, the watcher learns to love him as he sees and accepts her for what she really is. He brings humor, joy, and aliveness back into her life playing his absolutely dreadful, Swedish music which he describes as, "a group of Swedish musicians who were crushed by Abba." giving her a beautifully wrapped gift of Pez,which her father would always give her as a child, and finally imagining her through all the stages of her life. in the end, the movie is touching and redeeming, definitely worth seeing.
