Place Vendôme

Convoluted jewel trade film, blandly likeable throughout, then in the last quarter or so it becomes clear that a 20-year romance is at the core and my girlish instincts kick in: yeah, convoluted or not, I can go for Deneuve & Dutronc! Uh, good thing the ending was dumb again because this film was not good enough for the rating I was prepared to give it after Dutronc collapsed in Deneuve’s lap… oh dear. Really dumb attempt at identity confusion between Deneuve and a younger jewel seller, which seems to amount to just “they slept with the same three men!” and it’s entirely ignored by the end. Not especially good, only recommended for fans of the actors.
