Alexandre
(Vincent Perez) has been through the cycle of seeing the initial passion in romantic
encounters burn off and having the relationship become routine and boring. He thinks that
this
happens for two reasons: the courtship and wooing dance ends, and mere sex enters the
picture. He
is determined to prevent this cycle from happening with his latest love-interest, a sexy
young woman
named Fanfan (Sophie Marceau).
However, despite the delightful, romantic and inventive ways he discovers
for them to spend time together, Fanfan finds his refusal to go to bed with her
increasingly irritating; their burgeoning relationship is seriously jeopardized by
Alexandre's attachment to his plan.
This film is based on the director's best-selling novel, which was
translated into almost two dozen languages. [from All-Movie Guide]

Viewer Comments:
"The portrayed characters are full of passion, of life and contradictions which makes
the film very convincing - a tragedy, a comedy and a romance. Very special, very good,
very French."
....Wulf Krueger of Germany
"This is definitely one of the most beautiful romantic films I've seen. Marceau is
adorable in her role. She is the image of beauty and love herself. A night with the woman
you love, dancing in a place you've never been, loving as you've never loved. Love at
first, second and every sight. I consider this movie a classic, for what it means, for
those who believe in true love."
....R. Gonzalez of Mexico
