The Best Part of this Film

The best part of this movie was the different looks of Audrey Tatou. As she plays a model, she has to incorporate a bunch of different styles in her photo shoots, and her daily style changes as well. Other than that the movie was a huge disappointment. Neither her character nor her love interest are all that likeable. The movie parodies the modeling industry, religion, relationships, but fails to do it poignantly, and fails to be the slightest bit thought provoking. The movie ends with a little bit of cliff hanger, but when it comes down to it, who cares. Tatou is a great actress, but she fails to deliver in this performance. And no, I am not hung up on her Amelie character, I have seen her in other films and she has typically delivered the goods. When it comes down to it, I think this is the movie that makes the average film goer dislike foreign movies.

I found the "bed-scenes" very beautiful, totally something else I expected, That´s how sex-scenes should be filmed!!

A agree, the photoshoots were the best part. They stand out in my mind. The rest of the film seemed a little jumbled. There was a lot I didn't understand, but those hairstyles/outfits were great.

Tomorrow's just your future yesterday!

the best part of this movie is that it ends

I think the "jumbled" intent is to try to show you how the characters feel. She's got some sort of mental illness and I think the disorientating effect of some of the cinematography is an excellent way of giving you an insight into their lives.
I thought this was a great film, just very different to many others, but that makes it very interesting. The charactars are quirky, odd and sometimes annoying but then again, not that far removed from how some people are. I would recommend this film anytime.

Well put! I just saw the film and the cuts and overall quality of it were awful. That might be the DVD scanning process though.

Tautou's modelling scenes were good for her face making your heart melt but as another poster pointed out I liked the way they did the sex scenes. Subtle.

Bauer vs. Bourne, that is the question.
