Populaire - Régis Roinsard (2012)


          I don't usually admit to enjoying romantic comedies, but I loved this one! I think most of all, I love the characters - they're portrayed in more of a realistic way than American Rom-Coms. Each character has issues, fears, insecurities, pride, they're not perfect, and they talk about it. The story is funny and seems kind of random, but reveals the way people thought in the 50s - their idea of what was cool or "popular." Visually, it's very clean, uses bright colors and has that kind of obnoxiously cute 1950's theatrical flare. Overall, it's very enjoyable, even I'd say, refreshing. Watch more French films!

Watch it!
