Jean Reno and Juliette Binoche star in this romantic comedy as two strangers --
and complete opposites personality-wise -- who meet at Charles de Gaulle airport
in Paris while planes are grounded due to a strike and bad weather. Also with
Sergi López and Scali Delpeyrat. Directed by Danièle Thompson. In French with
English subtitles. [1:31]
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A pornographic movie plays on a TV set: we see a
woman on her hands and knees, and a man thrusting from behind and hear the woman
moaning (he's bare-chested and we see her bare legs). A man and a woman hug, he
kisses her neck, she lies back on a massage table, he climbs on top of her, they
kiss and are interrupted. A man and a woman kiss. A man and a woman lie in bed
together (they're clothed). There is sexual tension: a man and a woman are
saying goodbye and they appear to lean toward each other to kiss but do not. A
woman lies nude in bed covered with a sheet but when she sits up a bit we see
part of her bare breasts and nipples. A nude woman swims and we see her bare
back, buttocks and legs when she climbs out of the pool. A man and a woman talk
about sex and pretend to have orgasms. A man invites a woman to come to his
hotel room (in a non-sexual context).
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A man pounds on a table a couple of times, one
time breaking a glass that cuts his hand. A man grabs a woman, pulls her out of
a taxi and yells at her. A man suffers from several anxiety attacks: he breathes
heavily, holds his chest, begins to lose consciousness. A man lies on the floor
of a bathroom, a woman opens the door and hits him on the head. A reference is
made to spousal abuse. A woman talks about having been slapped as a child by her
parents. A man talks about a woman's grandmother having died and that he's going
to the funeral. A woman talks to her mother on the phone and it is suggested
that she has taken a quantity of pills. A man spills salad oil and it splashes
onto a woman. A woman urinates in a toilet (we hear the trickle).
