Dir. Alain Resnais. 1997, 120 mins. With Pierre Arditi, Sabine Azéma, André Dussolier, Agnès Jaoui. Written by Agnès Jaoui. A Parisian tour guide, two real estate agents, and several other characters look for happiness, or at least a good antidepressant, in this enchanting musical that plays like an homage to Dennis Potter, as characters reveal their thoughts and feelings by lip-synching to popular songs by Maurice Chevalier, Edith Piaf, and Johnny Halliday.
