Russian dolls

Russian Dolls, Les Poupées russes (2005) is the sequel to The Spanish Apartment Auberge espagnole, L' (2002) and above is Celia Shelburn Lucy Gordon, built to Fibonacci proportions, evident on every curve and exquisite line. Poor Xavier Romain Duris is plagued by beautiful woman and he can't make up his mind what he wants. (Things are getting tough because he's about to become ancient - 30 years old...bastard!) Well he seems to settle for his English Rose Wendy Kelly Reilly mostly because each is prepared to accept the others' flaws and together battle The Cliché. There's a whiff of Four Weddings' or Love Actually but you just have to admire French panache. I like Duris too, who was excellent in The Beat that my Heart Skipped De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté (2005); like Keanu Reeves he never over-acts so becomes a template for your own imagination, not the ego of the actor. This is the main difference between theatre and cinema.
