London mon amour movie review

Two divorced friends, Mathias and Antoine, have had it with their life in Paris. When Mathias is fired from the bookshop where he works, he does not hesitate in heeding Antoine about a better life in London. What's more, Antoine already has a house in Frog Alley, the neighborhood where a lot of French live. Mathias' former wife Valentine will let him live in the house next door to his friend so he can supervise his daughter Emilie.



Mathias buys an old fashioned book store catering to the French community. Antoine, an architect suggests they could combine both living areas of the two houses, where they would spend most of the time, but the upstairs will be only for each of the men and their son, or daughter. Since all it involves is knocking the dividing wall between the houses, Mathias goes into action before the actual permits arrive. Before all the work is completed, Antoine insists in drawing up a chart with 10 rules about how to cohabit the bigger space.



Going to Emilie's school one day, Mathias, who is running late, meets a woman he has seen at his shop before. In the school yard there is a boy on a tree branch that is afraid to come down. Mathias goes to his rescue, but his fear of heights prevents him to do a good deed, only to be rescued by Audrey. Before Mathias realizes, he falls in love with the lovely Audrey. Not being able to take her to his house, they resort to meeting at a hotel.



Frog Alley is dotted with an assortment of characters that find a common ground in their new adopted city. Antoine reasons this London quarter is like Paris, but without Parisians. When things are going great between Mathias and Audrey, his former wife shows up unexpectedly. Audrey who had a problem having been lied in another relationship casually comes upon the former couple and believes Mathias had lied.



A pleasant sunny comedy by Lorraine Levy who adapted her brother's Marc novel with Phillippe Guez. Ms. Levy gave the production a glossy look as it almost feels like a Hollywood film, with a French point of view. The casting is what made the film even better. Vincent Lindon who is a welcome figure in any picture, plays a disarming Mathias. He is equally matched by Pascal Elbe, seen as Antoine. The excellent Virginie Ledoyen is Audrey. Florence Foresti, Mar Sodupe, and the great Bernadette Lafont are seen in supporting roles. Garance Le Guillermic, a charming young actress that made a splash in "L'Herisson" is on hand to play Emilie.
