Customer Reviews

Quirky, breezy comedy with excellent performances by the 2 leads.
This is a very fun French film, not to be taken too seriously, as evidenced by the slick editing and pacing of the film. It's very funny in certain scenes, and what clinched it for me was the performance of Eduardo Noriega as the likable Graham/Pablo, who can't seem to remember what happened 15 minutes prior, let alone the previous night's encounter. We don't learn why he has this condition until much later in the film.

His love interest in the film is the delightful Anna Mouglalis, who really clicks with Noriega's character. I last saw her in Claude Chabrol's Nightcap (Merci Le Pour Chocolat) and loved her in that film. The two bring great chemistry to the screen, despite Graham's lack of remembering their last liaison. She helps him try to overcome his forgetfulness in a number of different ways, including writing things on his body, and buying a two-way global tracking system, so they always know how to find each other.

There are some very odd aspects to the film, including a some weird events that take place with the female boss at his office, and his supposedly best friend, Fred. As the other reviewer stated, these scenes lend some confusion, to an already choppy pace of the film. The film's other drawback is the somewhat weak ending. While very pleased with the ultimate conclusion, I thought the scenes leading up to the end, where he finds a tooth, and what he does with that tooth when he meets a car full of drifters (two women and one man), was rather contrived.

An enjoyable comedy made memorable by the comedic proportions shaped by one's memory loss, and the sparkling chemistry between two people trying to overcome it.

I wish I had seen this movie sooner!
I'll keep my review short & sweet since the other reviews here are so detailed :)

01. Eduardo Noriega is drop-dead gorgeous - especially in this film.

02. There is nudity and strong sexual content, so it's not a movie for kids or something you want to watch with your parents.

03. The story isn't really a comedy, but it's not depressing.

04. The only confusion that I really experienced during the film was one scene near the end when Pablo/Graham's boss encounters Irene. The scene was clipped and with no dialogue, but I felt like there might have been something integral there that I didn't get.

Despite that, I still loved this film very much and I plan on buying it ASAP! It's one of the most refreshing films I've seen in awhile and I'm surprised that no one really talks about it. Maybe it's been overshadowed by Memento, but the two films, while sharing the same short-term memory loss storyline, are completely different in my opinion.
