"Et plus si affinités" is the second remake of "Sentimental", a good Spanish movie, with a promising plot. Compared to its predecessors, in my opinion, "Et plus si affinités" goes way beyond. The direction manages to create a fresh and unique blend of elegance, satire, humor, rhythm and ellipsis. This is undoubtedly due to a more polished screenplay, an heightened cinematic eye and an extraordinary chemistry among the actors. Compared to the original not only is the development less forced and more entertaining, but especially the ending is much more satisfying, as evidenced by the applause that resonated in the Cannes screening room where I saw a preview.
