13th French Film Fest: Changement d’adresse

Changement d’adresse (Change of Address, 2006) is a playful film about a rather quiet guy who has affections for her beautiful music student, and also shares his room rent with a playful girl.

Emmanuel Mouret, as writer, director and main character of the story, is clever with his lines. In fact, the audience here in Manila were amused with the double entendres, even if the lines were spoken in French. The strength of the film is in the simplicity of its delivery. Fanny Valette was astounding; she’s a striking mix of Liv Tyler and Roxanne Guinoo. She is really pretty.

All said, Changement is an engaging film -resilient in its moments of silence, and lovable in every dialogue.
