The usual French film premise – a group of 30-something friends dividedinto couples, ex-couples, couples on a verge of a break up, and surfacing love triangles– is the first obvious thing in Little White Lies by GuillaumeCanet, presented by MPI Pictures. Thesecond obvious thing about this movie is the heavy use of rock and jazz hitsongs intended to illustrate every character’s inner struggle, or a conflictbetween two characters. The classic songs for some reason come from a previousgenerations’ fan book – Nina Simone, The Isley Brothers, Janis Joplin, DavidBowie, Creedence Clearwater Revival… The not so obvious thing in this film is that most of the charactersare hard to identify with, since in the first hour or so we learn very little aboutthe majority of them. When we do learnmore, it seems sometimes hard to believe. Can a young, good looking, kind, smartand successful doctor fall for a grumpy, arrogant, slightly educated B&Bowner past his prime? Can a normal-looking man pursue a rather homely woman to adegree under which he turns into a needy lovesick teenager occupied only withher text messages and decidedly nothing else in his life? Can a night clubjunky be a center of everyone’s love and devotion? There might be more to anyof these characters, but we still don’t know it from their actions and dialogsthat rotate around summer vacation activities and petty squabbles.While for the best part of the film nothing is happening besides trivialthings like going on vacation in a group, settling at the B&B, eating,drinking, boating, etc. etc., eventually the plot thickens and brings up somedrama and a hint at complex relationships within the group. As always, Parisand the beaches of, presumably, Provence, play a role equal to that of theacting ensemble. Some very distinguished actors’ presence surely helps – like MarionCotillard, Francois Cluzet (both on photo), Benoit Magimel, and Jean Dujardin.Little White Lies premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and wonthe Cesar Award for Best Director (G.
