I have been watching three fine films with a story line, a trilogy.

Chinese Puzzle (2014) is the last installment.

Cédric Klapisch is the director and his consistent hand makes these a joy to be a part of. For that is what happens. We are right with these young people who are going through three decades, stages of their romantic lives.

Romain Duris is just wonderful. In real life and in these films. I cannot stop watching him. Tough on the other actors.

There is hardly a wrong note in the entire series.

There is nothing of consequence going on here. Simply well lived lives between some admirable young people. No angst, fuckups or hang ups. Well not too many!

The first two films were Russian Dolls and The Spanish Apartment. In both films the principals are away from home at school and their first jobs. Now, settled, they are back in Paris for the final tour.

I will almost certainly see these again which makes it a 5 out of Netflix 5.
