Movie Reviews of Happenstance
Movie Review: The sinuous intersections of love!
Summary: 5 Stars
The opportunities, the proper choice and the effects of this last one, remove themselves in Paris any day. A dependent, born on March 11, 1977 reads her horoscope on the way of job that auguries her she will meet the love of her life (it's full moon night) but previously she will have to raffle some little and unpleasant obstacles, when twenty lives will cross trough unpredictably due this forecast.
Once more, the fertile creative imagination and the marvellous well written script allow us to be aware the mistakenly term "coincidence" is the final outcome of a set of apparently fortuitous events that work out unconnected into a major order.
Along the way, you we will witness about many common livings and feelings of our global world.
A true artistic celebration.
Summary of Happenstance
Studio: New Yorker Films Video Release Date: 04/23/2002 Run time: 97 minutes Rating: RAudrey Tautou (star of Am?lie) shimmers like a born movie star in Happenstance. A woman on the morning train tells Tautou that the full moon will lead her to her soulmate; from there, Happenstance follows a marvelous interlocking series of events, in which little things (like whether or not a young museum guard eats a piece of chocolate) affect bigger ones (like whether or not an adulterous husband will tell his wife the truth). The numerous characters intersect with each other's lives, creating a web of coincidences that finally catches Tautou like a hapless fly. This could have been cloying and forced, but the writing and directing are so deft and subtle that the coincidences of Happenstance feel natural and compelling. A sweet and hopeful movie, with excellent performance all around, but Tautou's wide-open eyes leap out of her every scene, hypnotic and charming. --Bret Fetzer
