  • Starring: Julie Gayet, Michael Cohen, Virginie Ledoyen
  • Summary: While traveling to Nantes for one evening, Emilie meets Gabriel. Equally seduced by one another, but both otherwise committed, they know they will probably never see each other again. He would like to kiss her. She as well, but a story prevents her from doing so: that of a married woman and of her best friend who were surprised by the effects of a kiss. Of a kiss that should have born no consequences. (Music Box Films)… Expand

    Shall We Kiss? gives us storytelling as art. Emmanuel Mouret's romantic drama, in French with English subtitles, is expert, intricate, ineffably droll, ultimately provocative and entirely enchanting.

    This is upscale French entertainment at its best.

    Perhaps the film's biggest weakness is that all the characters are so naive and petty you can't really work up much fervour about who sleeps with whom. That would never be a question in a movie like "Casablanca."

    Well, it's no "Un Coeur en Hiver." But I enjoyed the storytelling; it's one of those plots that would've been utterly inane with minimally talented alums of "Friends" or "Grey's Anatomy" but somehow works with the light, chatty touch of the French cast. Some of the developments are not witty or humorous, but just plain silly. Perhaps the score is a hint: Much of it is from "The Nutcracker," and you just have to enjoy the dancing.… Expand

    I joined this site just to declare that this movie is unwatchable. The script is infantile, and the events and behavior of the characters are excruciatingly unoriginal. Apparently, when famous critics watch a movie in French their critical thinking skills disengage. This movie is a disgrace to French cinema. I could go on...… Expand
