it was a short and enjoyable movie. in fact, it isn't similar to Amilie as it is said. you can guess the end of it but I couldn't take myself to be surprised. despite the obsession of Angelique, she was absolutely cute. differently, I have learned a new psychological term "erotomania"and now I am searching about. it is really threatening.

We watched this film today in a French lesson and the whole class was hooked. A bunch of fifteen year old boys and girls sat totally enthralled by this movie. They even stayed in over their break to watch the end. So many turns and surprises and shocks! Gripping and shocking right until the very last second. Everyone was extremely shocked.A very very entertaining watch. The kids were extremely pleased and satisfied to solve the mysteries just as they were revealed on screen and were even more amazed when something totally unexpected happened! With fabulous actors and the beautiful and AMAZING Audrey Tautou!

Audrey Tatou portrays Angelique; a beautiful and talented art student who falls deeply in love with married cardiologist Loïc. Over the first half of this movie, they plan how he will escape from his unhappy marriage, his pregnant wife and live an idyllic existence together. Initially, the story focuses on Angelique's point of view; we see her conspiring with her treacherous paramour, leaving voice mail messages and sending love letters and as such, this appears to be no more than a conventional, if rather sordid tale of betrayal and marital infidelity. However, half way through the movie, our perspective changes, and now we see the story through the eyes of Angelique's object of desire; Loïc. Without giving away the ingenious premise, I will say that the story is not as straightforward as it first appears. Our preconceptions and expectations are challenged, and the personalities of the participants are laid bare. This is a sometimes uncomfortable examination of obsession and the lengths human beings will go to in the name of love.

I have not yet seen this film but from what I have read, it seems to describe the experience of erotomania -- the delusion that someone else is in love with you -- quite accurately and creatively. I am assuming erotomania here is portrayed as a true medical condition, like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and not just something that afflicts the "morally weak". I am glad that there is an erotomania version of "A Beautiful Mind" out there.I plan to rent this film tomorrow. Hopefully it will not disappoint.-- "Angelique, a young student, is in love with a married doctor. We see her attempts to make him leave his pregnant wife, but he does not appear for meetings or finally the booked journey to Florence. Then the movie is turned back to the beginning, and the view changes: We are now following the view of the doctor instead of Angelique's. And things look quite different now..."
