Who Knows? (2001)
6/10
Pointless Romance
14 October 2006
While in Paris in a tour of the Italian play "Como Tu Mi Vuoi", the lead actress Camille (Jeanne Balibar), who is living with the director Ugo Bassani (Sergio Castellitto), recalls and misses her former love Pierre (Jacques Bonnaffé). She visits his apartment and meets his present mate Sonia (Marianne Basler). Meanwhile Ugo is searching a lost play by Goldoni, and meets the charming French Dominique (Hélène de Fougerolles) that helps him to find it in her mother's private library. Meanwhile, Do's smalltime crook stepbrother Arthur (Bruno Todeschini) seduces Sonia to steal her expensive ring.

I saw "Va Savoir" with great expectation, but I was quite disappointed with this pointless film. The charming cast and the good direction are lost in a promising story that goes nowhere. I do not dare to say that it was a complete waste of time, but I regret the terrible conclusion, which gives the impression that the writer got lost with the entwined romances. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Quem Sabe?" ("Who Knows?")
