How Much Do You Love Me?

A typical French movie. Monica looks good in parts of this but I didn't disolve dreamily as did some characters in the movie do, uttering hypnotized whisperings like "what a beautiful woman". To me, to ME, I find Catherine Zeta-Jones for example,more beautiful than Miss Bellucci. Her male friend I did not find pleasant to watch. The introduction of Gerard Depardieu mid-point is a plus and the party scene in the friends' apartment was a high-point. Loved the song they were all dancing to in this scene. I loved Monica best here watching her gleefully dance wearing a red sweater. The story was interesting with a few surprising moments. I downplay Monica's beauty but she is ....a very alluring creature.                                          3/28/08
