Delicacy (2011)

Original title La délicatesse

Director David Foenkinos, Stéphane Foenkinos

In the last 11 years – since Amélie, at least – Audrey Tautou has made more cute romcoms than Sandra Bullock. Some have been awful, others glucose, few have been actively good. Delicacy, however, might just be a quiet trend-bucker: despite some tonal wobbles, and a vague sense of deja vu, it's rather charming, and sometimes genuinely sad. Tautou is a perky creative management type whose idyllic life crumbles after her dishy husband is "rammed by a car" (says the doctor) while out jogging. A decent period of mourning later, two work colleagues seem likely candidates to fill his shoes: her slick Parisian boss, and a mashed-up Swede. She takes the quirky road, in case you were wondering. - Catherine Shoard / The Guardian
