The director is most famous for directing the movie "A Man and a Woman". Fifty years later, he makes the film with the same theme again. The story is set in India. A woman who plays the lead who always adheres to the Oriental philosophy. But the man is a composer and an idealistic type. In this story, they go on a pilgrimage after that. This plot was not too shabby. But I can't accept these easily.

Then they met a mysterious woman who says she can cure any kind of illness and said "love is my religion". I'm vaguely Buddhist so I somehow understand to the philosophy about "the wheel of life" even though nobody taught that to me. I don't think all of the people live to suffer for the future life. And I don't know why they're always celebrities, and they have a luxury travel after a pilgrimage, after all they meet with success. I felt empty that our dreams don't surely come true if you went to a pilgrimage. I felt the same thing when I saw the American movie "Eat Pray Love". Anyway the song will finish in a 3 minutes, the movie will end in 2 hours, our life will continue.

My family and I went to see this movie. We were 5, and when we got out, we were so appalled that we decided to laugh instead of crying about this lost moment of our life.

From the beginning, Elsa Zylberstein's speech during dinner at the embassy was so embarrassing that we were still asking ourselves if it was meant to be taken seriously or not. I thought to myself that if it was not serious, it might still be a good movie. But serious it was... Every scene of this movie can be anticipated. The Indian landscape? beautiful, colorful, but useless. The only real interaction between the two main characters and the country they are supposed to discover: Dujardin tickling an Indian guy's feet in the train.

An initiatic journey? they don't care about the places they pass by, nor the people. Zylberstein repeats that they still need to take "two more trains and a boat" Dujardin is bored, ME TOO.

So many elements in this movie have nothing to do with the story, you ask yourself why on earth they are shown. The story about "Juliet and Romeo", music in general (two characters are musicians). They are not linked to anything, and end up just being there...

I try to be moderate as often as I can when I review a film. But with this one... it is just too much. I came back home and watched another one, to move on.

Embarrassing movie indeed

... almost nearly-like a documentary of-a-romance ... mainly filmed in a most magical of countries.. India

... casting is exceptional.. actors making it all look sooo easy-enjoyable... what a wonderful experience it must have been for them

... a-timeless-film.. watching it again anytime in the future.. it-looses-nothing
