Shall We Kiss? / Un baiser s’il vous plait
Series: Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2008 [February 29 - March 9]
Director: Emmanuel Mouret, Country: France, Release: 2007, Runtime: 100

Gabriel (Michael Cohen) and Emilie (Julie Gayet) meet on the streets of a provincial capital. He offers her a ride, and the ride turns into a pleasant dinner with clearly romantic overtones. But when Gabriel attempts to plant a goodnight kiss, Emile pulls back — even one kiss, she admonishes him, can have unexpected consequences. We then cut to Emilie’s friends in Paris, Judith (Virginie Ledoyen) and Nicolas (director Emmanuel Mouret), and the story of her reluctance to accept even just one kiss. Wry, observant and also quite touching, Shall We Kiss? is a very contemporary meditation on the wages of infidelity. Mouret’s intelligent, successful characters deluge their emotions and instincts with very open speculation as to why they’re doing what they’re doing, trying to appear as if they’re in control while it’s clear to everyone else they haven’t been for a while.
