The surreal and poetic story of a young idealistic and inventive man, Colin, who meets Chloe, a young delicate woman appearing to be the incarnation of a Duke Ellington's blues. Their idyllic marriage turns into bitterness when Chloe falls ill, a water lily growing in her lung. To pay for her care, in a fantasy Paris, Colin must work under increasingly absurd conditions while around them their apartment deteriorates and their group of friends disintegrates. There are hints of social satire and symbolism in this story taken from the book by Boris Vian.
When I decided to go see that movie, I was really scared. Scared that, somehow, this movie might be bad, whereas the book of Boris Vian is one of my favorite. But when I got out, I was really amazed. I felt almost depressed, exactly the same way when I finished reading the book. For the whole night long, I couldn't keep my mind of the movie, and I was barely able to sleep.
Gondry actually made me open my eyes about some things, that I couldn't imagine or figure out. But when I think about it, it just make sense. Like the fact that Alise is black woman. I don't know why, I've always imagined her as a white and blonde woman. But it's only natural that she is in fact black.
I can understand the fact that some people would not like the movie, being very weird, and being in it's own universe. But I really think this movie deserves a way better grade. Maybe one of the greatest adaptations that I have seen, yet. I gladly recommend to see this movie.IMDB Reviewer
