This is not the kind of movie that is going to make it to every theatre - it's only playing at one theater in Paris (but the best theatre!) and when I saw it, the show was completely sold out, but still, it's probably too sophisticated for most movie spectators. The excellent review in Le Monde on Decembre 3 (which is the reason I went to see it) said it was a mixture of Ernst Lubitsch and Woody Allen. This is very true - it's light and funny and very intelligent. Go if you can, if not wait for the DVD, but it's really worth seeing it on the big screen.

Merci Docteur Rey
(2002)
it will make you smile
1 December 2003
I really love "Merci... Dr Rey." I just saw it in Paris and I already want to see it again. What better compliment that that? Litvack has made a film that makes you smile, and this is so rare these days. Dianne Wiest and Jane Birkin should share the best actress Oscar. Merci... Andrew Litvack!
