I enjoyed this film but I am not entirely sure why. I think I would lap up anything if it was black and white and in French and would be prepared to forgive a lot of things as long as it looked pretty.
Which this film certainly was. It even made Paris (a city I can't stand) look beautiful (maybe this was due to the lack of French people which normally marrs any vista - bizarrely the whole city was deserted.) I especially enjoyed the scene in the posh restaurant which looked amazing, even though the two leads were talking complete and utter bollocks.
To be honest the story was fairly incomprehensible and the whole guardian angel thing was a bit glib and not explained too well. There was a lot of pretentious crap spoken about loving oneself but of course you have to expect this in such a film.
There were bits that were really quite funny and moments of excitement but mostly it was just nice to look at and drink in, like a coffee from a cafe on the rive gauche, that nevertheless tastes a bit funny (probably because some Frenchman has spat in it.)
Anyway, it gets 5
