Review by Peter Wild on 8th October 2007
Like some kind of Gallic Prufrock (‘there will be time to wonder ‘Do I dare?’ and ‘Do I dare?’’), Patrick Chesnais’ Jean-Claude – arguably the lynchpin around which Stéphane Brizé’s mordant comedy of manners revolves – is an ageing, lonely bailiff who spends his days delivering eviction notices and his weekends visiting his curmudgeonly father in a nursing home. Just about the only excitement he gets is peering through the drapes from his office and into the dance class opposite. Apparently this Prufrock does dare however, because he signs up for lessons and meets Anne Consigny’s Françoise, a young woman who feels neglected at home thanks to her writer-fiance’s obsession with his novel. Like Daniel Auteuil in Un Coeur en Hiver or Jean Rochefort in L’Enfer, this is very much a tale of a buttoned-down man learning how to open up (albeit shot in the muted tones of something like Laurence Cantet’s Human Resources) but, as Jean-Claude and Françoise weather the storms of their burgeoning affection, a tender if downcast gem is born. Well worth a watch!
