Lettres à Juliette

In beautiful Verona. What threatened to be a predictable summer romp without a clue ends as a romantic/nostalgic journey full of surprising kindness. Whether searching for long-lost or newly found emotions, everything slowly and subtly fits together so well that not even Gael García Bernal, as a chef/maniac, can disturb it. And when the charming Christopher Egan starts throwing sour bon mots, Letters to Juliet wins, with or without a balcony. (16/02/2012)

Amazing Italian atmosphere full of alleyways and good food... I love it! Add to it a hopeless romantic and a bit of a jaded Romeo. A nice story about finding old and new love. Again, pretty naive, but strong. Plus I've always had a soft spot for balcony scenes and a nice soundtrack. Although I hate awkward misunderstandings like "Oh nooo, that's my cousin, that's not my girlfriend...". But that one made me close my eyes and cover my ears. I think "sweet" is the right word for this movie. Amanda Seyfried has made her reputation with me. Nice. (16/07/2011)
