This was only my third experience of French cinema (obvioulsy like everyone I've seen La Haine and Baise Moi).
It was on late night TV and just flicked as it was starting and found myself into it. It's a story about Angelie, a 30 something who works in a Prais beauty parlour and her lovelife. SHe has an old flame who appears now and again and a younger man who pesters her constantly promising to give up his much younger fiancée for her.
I found it slow at times but funny t others, all be it the comedy is French and so a bit surreal. The characters are poorly defined in some ways, especially the younger parlour worker, maybe the story about her and the older man could be explored further.
Overall, worth watching and has encouraged me to investigate more French films
