[Here's a copy of my review from over in the
Angel-A thread in the Foreign & Independent forum...]
Angel-A: It's a Wonderful Last Holiday in Paris!Though I'm tempted to say that the thread title tells you everything you need to know, I must slightly expand by saying that that is a good thing.
Jimmy Stewart's loser has nothing on the depth of the loserness of
Angel-A's loser, and to boot, ya get a full-on loser angel -- bonus!!!
...and did I mention it's a romance too?
I really enjoyed it, but then I'm a sucker for these life-affirming flicks when they're done right like this one. Lovely tone, lovely setting, lovely actors -- what can I say -- it's directed by Luc Besson, who can crap better movies than most directors...
