Thanks, mimi.

I love Daniel Auteil. I find him <i>so</i> sexy.

I liked Charlotte Gainsbourg in <i>Ma Femme Est Une Actrice</i>, although I think it was the guy playing her husband (don't know his name) who really stole the show.

Elle, did you see his ex-wife in &quot;Nellie and Mr. Arnaud?&quot;A much under appreciated film.

I would like to see his only English film (1999) where he plays an exiled dectective and encounters a pedophile ring. &quot;The Lost Son.&quot;

Mimi, you know the actress in the Lost Son, Katrine Cartledge? She died in 2002..very sad, so young. I liked her in a few British films she was in. She was in Naked

Lest we forget Auteuil gave a riveting performance in both Jean de Florette and the sequel Manon of the Springs. Unforgettable movies about life in Provence.

No, I didn't see &quot;Nellie and Monsieur Arnaud&quot;. Thanks for the reco--I'll add it to my Netflix queue.

What is it about him? He's certainly not the best looking French actor (Vincent Perez wins my vote there). But oh-la-la, I am so drawn to him.

Pardon! Correction:
Auteuil was born in Algiers (like Camus)
Reno in Casablanca, Morocco

Thanks- I missed this one. I liked My Wife is An Actress, and yes, that was her husband.

Whatever you do, do not see Before Sunset with Ethan Hawke....dreadful.

What a shame, because Before Sunrise was utterly charming.

I did like the Paris shots in Before Sunset. It was a little long though.

I have been trying to think of the name of a recent French Canadian Film release but can't remember the name. I want to see if it is out on video yet. It is about a doctor who goes to a small town in a backwoods area in Canada to be the only doctor. I thought it was &quot;The Education of.....&quot; Anyone have a clue?

I hated Before Sunrise, largely because Ethan Hawke's character was such a self-absorbed, self-indulgent immature dufus. I did like Julie Delpy, though.

I'll probably rent Before Sunset just for the scenery and turn off the sound whenever Hawke opens his mouth.

Hawk looked so dissipated, that I couldn't find him attractive.
