La Petite Lili



La Petite Lili (2003) - Review
Nothing spectacular here. Just a warm, human story with talented acting by beautiful people. There's the always corruscating Ludivine Sagnier, Robinson Stévenin (the Gallic Johnny Depp), Julie Depardieu (daughter of that other Depardieu), old-timer Michel Piccoli, and Bernard Giraudeau.

There is some cleverness in the recursive filmmaking toward the end - not just a film within a film, but a film within a film that is about the film it's within.

French films are just cool. If you like them, this is a good one.
