No one does romantic comedy like the French. But this one is a little bit different. It is a bit darker than many French romantic comedies, with a real note of sadness that runs through out. There are two stories, one of a couple who meet today, and the woman tells the man a story over the course of the evening that is intended to explain why she does not want to kiss him. That a kiss can seem perfectly agreeable, and not necessarily rife with problems, but one never knows. Occasionally there is a dangerous kiss lurking out there. And that is the tale she tells. It is an awkward yet engaging story, that unfolds slowly and spasmodically. In the end it is both sexy and endearing. It is hard to explain. The contrasts are part of it's charm, and you just have to see it. Recommended.
