Dieu seul me voit (1998) **

Directed by Bruno Podalydes. With Denis Podalydes, Isabelle Candelier and Jeanne Balibar. Quirky, very pleasant comedy about a bumbling French playboy (closer to Jacques Tati than Alain Delon) and his wacky amorous pursuits. Episodic and constantly surprising, it has a very understated charm unique to the French cinema. Rohmer, Tati (and even Pierre Carles) serve as inspirations for this gentle, very sophisticated comedy of manners.
