HEAVEN SENT
Today's film was the Luc Besson’s
Angel-A (2005 released here 2007)
This smart take off of It's a Wonderful Life and Heaven Can Wait has all the charm of its parents and more—a Parisian twist. And turns.
Besson has also given us Amelie and Paris Je T' Aime which we just saw recently.
Whimsy and clever turns are his specialty and nothing is spared in this gentle comedy.
It is a very sweet film.
Rie Rasmussen and Jamel Debbouze, the improbable couple who are on screen almost 100% of the time are quite wonderful.
The other major member of the cast is the city at dawn and at night. Sometimes almost unpopulated.
Beautiful photography.
I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5.
