There's something refreshing about how it tackles themes of love and loss without resorting to melodrama.

This film is not widely available, making it a bit of a hidden gem for collectors. It was released in various formats, but you'll find that the DVD is the most common. However, first editions or limited releases can be quite elusive, which adds to the allure for those keen on unique finds. There's definitely a niche audience that appreciates its blend of humor and heartfelt moments, and collectors often seek it out not just for the film itself, but for the way it captures a specific era in French cinema.
