Mon Meilleur Ami
What I love most about IMDb is its power to relieve those headaches that come on when I'm sure that I've seen an actor before, but can't for the life of me place him or, more usually, her. It's more usually her because women can transform themselves utterly simply by radically rethinking their hair. I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure out that Julie Gayet, who appears in Patrice Leconte's Mon Meilleur Ami, is also in Un Monde Presque Paisible, Michel Deville's intensely lovely 2002 feature.
Daniel Auteuil is certainly keeping busy. He was in four movies last year, of which two, La Doublure and Mon Meilleur Ami, have been released here. Why does it take so long? Are subtitles that difficult to whip up?
I already know what I'm going to see next week. Barring unforeseen obstacles, my Friday movie will be Molière, starring Romain Duris.

I love Daniel Auteuil. I first saw him in "Queen Margot" when it was televised on PBS, years ago. It was not until the sudden shock of recognition during The Valet" that I became enthused about finding out more about him. The preview at "The Valet" which featured "Mon Meilleur Ami", helped as well. He seems to be very busy of late, with many movies in the can, hopefully bound for our shores. Vive IMDB!

Daniel Auteuil is the perfect middle-aged man, wouldn't you agree?
