A Little Bit of French Can Kill You

We weren't expecting much from J'me Sens Pas Belle (translated as I Don't Feel Beautiful). Alliance Francaise shows free French films every Wednesday. Since we now live a few blocks away, we decided to go for it.

This is the synopsis lifted from IMDB

Fanny, a single woman in her mid-thirties, has had enough of relationships that don't work, so she decides to seduce Paul, a colleague from the office, into a brief one-night sexual encounter. Everything is prepared when Paul arrives, but then, thanks to Fanny's clumsiness, things don't exactly work out as planned

We left Alliance with the same feeling we always have when watching a really good romantic comedy. This is one of those movies that end up making you feel depressed because you don't have that kind of life, at least not yet. That perfect embrace, a guy who is so sweet and endearing, not afraid to cry in bed and say thank you, buy you breakfast in the morning, caress your face and give you one of the sweetest morning kisses ever... Is it that easy to find the love of your life in one night? To expect just a fling to pass the night and end up with a much greater thing?

Obviously I'm still affected. That film almost gave me a heart attack. If you're in the mood to be giddy and mushy, that's the movie to watch. It will make you want to cuddle next to the one you love or will make you want to search for someone to cuddle with.

This is the bittersweet song from the movie. It's called Thirty and Better. It's about living alone and not caring about it, although occasionally you do think about it, but at the end of the day, it's your choice and you're happy. Enjoy. For those who can understand french, i need a translation! I can't find one online.
