While most film directors struggle—and fail—to
create screen magic, Laurent Firode succeeds beautifully with his romantic-existential
comedy Le Battement d'ailes du papillon / Happenstance. The key
is Firode's lighter-than-air touch. Even Ernst Lubitsch would have been
impressed. Audrey Tautou, however, looks somewhat puzzled. She has been
having problems with her roommate, she has been fired from her job, she
has broken her nose. Where will fate take her next?
