(Dominique Abel / 2011 / France / 93 minutes / certificate PG / subtitles)
Starring Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon and Bruno Romy this is a sweet kooky film played out mainly in traditional physical comedy...
Somewhere in Le Havre a hang-dog night porter has his life turned upside down when a fairy-esque woman walks into his hotel and offers him three wishes. But all logic is out of the window as he starts to make his wishes. This does not quite play out and whimsical imagination takes over. The magical fairy (Gordon) may not even be a fairy...is she mad?
The film has been touted as evoking the classic Jaques Tati and Buster Keaton. At a basic level of entertainment it is charming, likeable, full of child's play and whacky romance and off-kilter (French) comedy.
