About
You may like this if you enjoy intimate, melancholy relationship dramas set over a wandering night, especially if Full Moon in Paris or Betty Blue appeal to you; Not for you if you want upbeat energy or a busy plot.
Pros: moody Paris setting; tender lonely romance; emotionally raw tone | Cons: very downbeat mood; thin story movement; distant characters
