La délicatesse
The film, based on a novel by David Foenkinos (who directed along with Stéphane Foenkinos, his brother), has a few droll moments, the best of which involve Mr. Damiens. Barack Obama might be surprised to learn that a speech he gave during the 2008 presidential campaign — “This time we can face down those who say our road is too long, that our climb is too steep” — inspired a Swede living in France to go after a woman who was way out of his league. These sweet spots, though, don’t turn up nearly often enough, and what’s in between is thin stuff indeed.
Emotionally engaging French comedy-drama that ambitiously blends several different tones and somehow pulls it off, thanks to confident direction, a sharp script and superb performances from Audrey Tautou and Francois Damiens.
"Unpredictable’’ is one adjective you could use to describe the new Audrey Tautou movie, “Delicacy.’’ Others might be “charming,’’ “offbeat,’’ “droll.’’ “Unfocused’’ and “underwhelming’’ also apply. A small, eccentric tale of amour lost and refound, the movie’s mostly about the joys of being in love with Audrey Tautou. Every man in the film immediately falls for her character, Nathalie, and at times the camera swoons as it looks at her. It is assumed you will feel the same, which may depend on how many times you’ve seen 2001’s “Amelie.’’
