Review of Love Me If You Dare (2003) by Andrea H — 09 Aug 2008

I seriously can't recommend this one highly enough, and I know a lot of people here aren't exactly taken in by the whole romance thing but please don't let that put you off.

I guess it could be described best as a romantic dark comedy so forgot your ashton kutcher, Ben Stiller Romcoms, 'Love me if you dare/ Jeux 'enfants' is a whole new game(no pun intended).

The direction is so dreamlike and visually stunning you can't help but get sucked in. Not to be taken too seriously, whether you like it or not all depends on your willingness to go along with the game.

Jeux d'enfants(the original french title and my preferred name)chronicles the turbulous relationship between Julien(Canet) and Sophie(Cotillard) from the age of eight. Their relationship is a continuous game of one triumphing over the other in a game of dares.

The most romantic film I've seen in years, and it's no surprise in hearing Canet and Cotillard are now a real life couple because they're just electrifying when they're together.

A wonderfully dark enchanting and funny movie experience, Watch it if you dare , cap ou pas cap?
