A dedicated movie - polymath, effortlessly bilingual and scooping the best
of both Old and New World, Delpy resembles a bizarre version
of Miranda July: Instead
of celebrating lonely quirks
of a self -
centered sensibility, she throws herself (and the viewer) into a
comic vortex
of agitated, super-busy
scenes of noisy familial squabbles and cerebral lovers» quarrels, which seems a projection
of her own coyly humane view
of life.
