The Names of Love: amusing but forgettable

The Names of Love is an amusing but forgettable romantic comedy about the attraction of opposites  – a flighty leftwing women who converts conservatives by sleeping with them and an uptight and controlled guy.  Sara Forestier won the Cesar (France’s Oscar) for her portrayal of the most attention deficient character in recent cinema.  Indeed, Forestier is actually convincing as a woman so distractable that she doesn’t notice that she has left her flat and boarded the Paris Metro without wearing any clothes.
