Well, the story of a lone girl, raised by a single parent in the french country after WWII who learns typing and builds an extraordinary life is the subject of this movie but it's also the resume of my mother. I was very moved by the parallels especially when Romain tells Rose that she's typing like an elephant! My mother is also noisy and the computer keyboard don't change everything. Like Rose also, typing and a caring boss were the keys to go aboard as my mother went to Athens to support the basketball team for which his boss was the president! OK the big difference is that she didn't married him but rather our hardworking father!
Next, the movie has the real flavor of the french country : small villages, wealthy families and exploited ones. The production of 1959 is bluffing and at first, the movie looks like it has indeed been shot this year ! Sure, the fashion looks happy and luminous as seen with 2K10 eyes but if you compare it with « American Graffiti », you'll understand quickly what it means to live in an « old » country !
Romain is good here, all the more than for one time he does nearly a « bad » character ! Rose, the secretary is a fresh newcomer for me. Thus, the movie is interesting in spite of being a bit slow especially in the middle.
