I saw myself in that film

I just saw myself in the film as "Erwann" and discovered how the director successfully depicted homosexuality in such a pure and romantic way. Not putting "love" any borders is really the strongest part of the film. Ludivine Sagnier is the strongest candidate for being the new Catherine Deneuve of France. I think the new stars of France are Ludivine Sagnier and Benoit Magimel. Thanks to French cinema for having such nice actors, actresses, directors and producers. But I just waited a popular love song which all the world knows among all these epique ones. Another concern of mine is about the cross-cultural roleplaying experiences of French actors and actresses. They exist generally in French oriented films. I just want to see all these players co-playing with other countries' roleplayers and directors too.
