Movie Recommendation

posted 10 years ago by cck_bea

Hello people,

I'm usually a lurker, not a poster, anyway I kept seeing a trailer for a movie on TV and it looked retro, 60's inspired, nice music... saw the movie last night and absolutely adored it. If you like Down with Love, odds are you will enjoy Populaire (2012) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2070776/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Here's the synopsis:

-------
1958. Rose is a terrible secretary but a demon typist. Her handsome boss resolves to turn her into the fastest girl in the world.
-------

There's also romance (actually I was more interested in the typewriting contest aspect of the thing but the romance was balanced enough). In any case, it's a rom-com, so don't expect revolutionary storytelling or anything like that, this is not Inception.

Now, for the prudish, it's a French movie so I will copy the IMDB info regarding this: Rated R for a scene of sexuality
But suffice it to say that if you've ever seen a nipple in your life, you shouldn't be too shocked...

I don't know if netflix or hulu carry it, but if you can get your hands on it I heartily recommend it :)

Cheers everyone!
