A nice little film with some "unusual" characters but acting in regular, human situations. The continual movement from the actor to the subject was effective, blurring the line of reality vs. fiction. Perhaps the best part was the lack of histrionics, scenery-chewing, or overacting. Made me realize how mannered so much acting is these days. A good companion to "Lost in Translation," another film in which little things happen. Flaubert is smiling.
