Le Battement d'ailes du papillon - Laurent Firode (2000)

Le Battement d'ailes du papillon (AKA Happenstance)
From Laurent Firode

IMDB

Quote :: Audrey Tautou (star of Amélie) shimmers like a born movie star in Happenstance. A woman on the morning train tells Tautou that the full moon will lead her to her soulmate; from there, Happenstance follows a marvelous interlocking series of events, in which little things (like whether or not a young museum guard eats a piece of chocolate) affect bigger ones (like whether or not an adulterous husband will tell his wife the truth). The numerous characters intersect with each other's lives, creating a web of coincidences that finally catches Tautou like a hapless fly. This could have been cloying and forced, but the writing and directing are so deft and subtle that the coincidences of Happenstance feel natural and compelling. A sweet and hopeful movie, with excellent performance all around, but Tautou's wide-open eyes leap out of her every scene, hypnotic and charming.

Not bad at all Smile

A bit flat from time to time but a nice and easy movie with a clever scenario about the butterfly theory that every event in life effects things immediately around you. The story is nice yess

The Hong Kong english title is Amelie 2 but dont expect a second Amelie, it is for sure not as good. It takes a few of the chance and destiny ideas but it is NOT a jeunet movie, not as good by far
But well, I liked it yess
