That was an excellent one.
Simply Perfect
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
This is a very sweet, innocent semi-comedy. Throughout the first half of the film, the characters are fairly one dimensional. Even Dorothée and Nicolas seem flat and almost cartoon like while all the other characters simply have cameo type appearances. However, when Dorothée and Nicolas each arrive in Paris, they begin to flesh out. Hubert, played beautifully by Guillaume Gallienne brings the film alive with his portrayal of a deaf-mute tailor. Only the French could come up with such a brilliant solution to the romantic dilemma of our two love-struck soul mates. This is not profound, French cinema but certainly not a waste of time. I smiled in the end and giggled here and there throughout the movie. Enjoy
This need not be taken too seriously and is just a piece of fluff (Allociné raing 2.0/32). It's like a fable. Marina Hands (Dorothée), is a big girl on the model of Mariel Hemingway; she also played Lady Chatterley. This will work for you if you buy the chemistry between her and newcomer Julien Doré, as the boyfriend, Nicolas. The pair meet at a rural gathering of ethnic performances. It's love at first sight. Nicolas relocates and becomes a hairdresser in Dorothée's town. Her father objects; they try to commit joint suicide dressed in wedding clothes lying on a railroad track, but are saved. Daddy dies and they're to marry but Nicolas believes a nasty rumor. They both wind up in Paris hunting for each other. She gives up and marries a deaf-mute Italian tailor (Guillaume Gallienne, a splendid mime here). When Nicolas reappears she regrets this, but the trouble is, her husband is just too nice to betray. What to do? It's all too far-fetched to recount here -- or to object to. "Together We..." has some charming, funny moments. Julien Doré struck me as having some of the appeal of the young Hugh Grant. A very entertaining little film. Seen in Paris during its theatrical run in April 2010.
