Vu sur France 2, Cannes.
Sélection officielle hors-compétition, Cannes 2019
A futile exercise in nostalgia, half cute, half execrable.
The insertion of scenes from the original film (although less clever than in Truffaut's L'amour en fuite) work well in that regard, even on someone who saw it for the 1st time a week ago and didn't like it at all. Seeing the actors together again is as charming as possible and some of their shared scenes are quite nice,even emotional.
But to see those moments means going through syrupous french songs (no, not simply the original theme), poor engineered drama and terrible second roles (Bellucci! Etc).
Score: 5/10
Enjoyment: 3/5
