2005 Romance / Drama / Comedy
 Review
For her directorial debut feature, Jeanne Biras draws on her many
years’ experience as a casting director. The premise for the film
clearly has some mileage but Biras fails to develop a coherent
structure and her characters are no more than silly broad-brush
stereotypes. With more work on the script, this could have been a
very funny and enjoyable film. As it is, the jokes are too
obvious to be funny and the characters too ridiculous to be taken
serious. The film’s quirky narrative style is at first appealing
but soon begins to jar, particularly as the script inadequacies become evident.

Director:
Jeanne Biras
Starring: Alexandra Lamy, Clovis Cornillac, Juliette Roudet, Jerry Rudes Synopsis
30-something Jo is a busy casting director. She enjoys her job,
does everything she can to please everyone, but ends up by pleasing no
one. Her love life is a disaster because she is too good natured
and fails to see the bad side of anyone. As a result of her
kindness, she finds herself evicted from her apartment by a homeless
squatter claiming political asylum. It is at this crucial
juncture that she meets Bernard, the likeable owner of a pet
crematorium. For him, it is love at first sight; for her it
is "here we go again". Jo is soon occupied with casting for a big
American movie. The problem is not her work but a director with a
well-developed libido...
