Ah, the complications of romance! Sisters Ariane and Lena both have beaus, but new men are piquing their interest. Lena’s in love with François, but has met Mark, who tries to sweep her off her feet. Ariane’s been dating Farid for two years, but he won’t commit, and she finds the charms of a Spanish construction worker hard to resist. All these predicaments mirror the dilemmas of the characters in the “photo-novels” that Ariane creates for a popular magazine. While Lena’s serious and confused, Ariane’s the loopy one, playing out her desires in her writing. Director Julie Lopes-Curval creates a delightful narrative of close encounters and near misses in a charming romance with a playful style that perfectly suits the photo-novel genre.
Julie Lopes-Curval acted briefly on the stage before directing her own plays. She co-wrote the screenplays for Une Affaire qui roule (2001) and Le Role de sa vie (2003). Bord de mer, her first feature, won the Camera d’or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2002. Toi et moi is her second feature film.
