James Napoli’s Rental of the Week – This Week: HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT (2001)

This is going to be the shortest review that has yet been posted to this column.  To go too deeply into why a small French film, that came and went in its American theatrical release, is an absolute must-see would be to give away a whammy of a spoiler; and that is just not how we do things here at Collider.  So, your intrepid pseudo-journalist will now attempt to provide just the right amount of information to get you jazzed about seeing this fantastic film, while not revealing some of the corkscrew twists that are guaranteed to let loose your moorings.

For example, it is probably safe to say that the movie hinges on a smart and shocking structural conceit.  A lot of other movies that do this, famously Memento or The Usual Suspects are puzzle films: they are great and they engage intellectually but there is a coolness to them that invites detachment.  In He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (À la folie… pas du tout), director Laetitia Colombani, together with co-writer Caroline Thivel, adds a layer cake of complex emotions to the genre, and the result is a film that transcends its trickery many times over.
