Jean-Jacques Castella is a successful suburban businessman, painfully aware of his inability to keep up with the fast changing times. He has no appreciation of the arts, until his wife Angelique drags him to a moving performance of Racine's Berenice. Much to his surprise, he is overwhelmed by the power and beauty of the lead actress, Clara Devaux, who plays the Queen. He becomes so infatuated with her that he goes back to the play every night. Finally, these two polar opposites are forced together when Castella reluctantly tries to learn English for an important business deal and his English teacher turns out to be Clara.

A pleasantly morose comedy, it definitely won't make you laugh, but will surely raise the corners of your mouth. The whole thing feels more like a radio play and it would lose nothing without the image.

I would not dare label this film a comedy, because it oscillates between several genres and, in my opinion, it is more of a romantic drama. The film deals with the problem of how possible it is to bring together professionally, educationally, and temperamentally different people, not only in terms of love but also in terms of friendship and collegial partnerships. It tells the story of how superficial our first impressions can sometimes be, and how easily we can overlook the qualities of the people around us. It forces us to think and reassess our past conflicts and relationships. This clever film with a well-thought-out screenplay is not superficially flashy; it is a seemingly inconspicuous European production that gradually drew me into the story and truly captivated me. The cast is excellent, even though the actors are new to me, although Jean-Pierre Bacri is a big star in France. Overall impression: 80%.

I don't like contemporary French humor. These conversational comedies just don't do it for me. I love to watch Louis de Funes films, but this one is just beyond me. On TV they repeated several times how excellent the film was, how many César Awards it won (4), and that it was even nominated for an Oscar. I can't help but not like this film one bit. I acknowledge that the script is original, but unfortunately, the originality comes at the cost of dreadful boredom, which goes hand in hand with it. It's unbelievable, but it's true. At times I was looking at my watch rather than at the film. Yes, you can feel the director's passion for the film, but this approach seems to satisfy her more than the audience. To be honest, I'm not disappointed with the film because I didn't expect anything from it and this style of comedy doesn't suit me either. It's actually like I never even saw the film.
