Private Fears in Public Places

France

This was an elegant, stylized film about six people looking for love or connection in a busy, preoccupied world. Wonderful sets, continuous use of light snowfall as a backdrop as well as a transitional device, strong cast and crane work made this a treat for the eyes.

The only flaw to me was the slide toward a cartoonish mentality in some, but not all scenes. It's hard to find love out there...a theme that's been used countless times...but this film provided a fresh, sad take.
