Synopsis: After the death of her husband, Nathalie (Tautou) will focus on her work, where she has to reject the seduction from her boss. Unexpectedly she will learn to know her Swedish collegues Markus (Damiens).
Review: I didn't know what to expect from this romance, I am not used to this kind of movies. It is not a romantic comedy. The first half is slow, until you get into to the real story: the atypical relationship between Nathalie and Markus. The screenplay is not really funny, but the movie is saved by the acting of Francois Damiens, all in small gestures and habits, that make him look like a big fluffy bear from Sweden. The way he dresses, talk... often make you smile. I knew that he was looking like a friend of mine, but in this movie it is even more obvious! Sometimes the movie tries to look like Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (main actress, music, narrator, small habits in Paris...), and as a reference they even put a name in its German title (Nathalie küsst), but thankfully not too often.
