BOULEVARD STORIES

Today's film was

Fauteuils d'orchestre / Avenue Montaigne (2007)

This is an anthology film. A central theme with four or five stories hooked to it. Well, come to think of it, seven. No. Ten!

There is nothing wrong with that. It is one of the 13 plots that describe virtually all movies.

In this case, the sum is greater than the parts. I really liked the whole thing. It is a charming take on life in the lively arts with some surprises along the way.

It does not require much thinking. But there will be feeling whether you want there to be or not.

All the stories have an ending. No funny stuff with stopping before we know what happens.

I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5. A very happy way to spend a very rainy afternoon.
