48 Hours a Day

This is an imaginative and lively comedy by the French director Catherine Castel who manages to tell us a very familiar story in an unusual way.

The cast is very good with strong performances by both the leading actors (Aura Atike and Antoine de Caunes) and the supporting ones (among them the charming Victoria Abril) and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed the film.

It's very refreshing to see that modern filmmakers can still produce funny and intelligent comedies which can be as gripping as the fast paced actions and thrillers which overflow the cinemas these days.
