Almost Perfect!!, 29 September 1999
Author: star54 from canada

A beautiful cast makes a beautiful film! I recommend looking for this one...I do understand French but even if I didn't, I'm sure this would still be a most enjoyable movie. Acting by Fanny Ardant was especially magnificant. I give this 8/10
