Les herbes folles (Wild Grass) (2009)

Plot:
A wallet lost and found opens the door to romantic adventure for Georges and Marguerite. After examining the ID papers of its owner, it is not a simple matter for Georges to turn the red wallet he found in to the police. Nor is it that Marguerite can recuperate her wallet without being piqued with curiosity about whom it was who found it. As they navigate the social protocols of giving and acknowledging thanks, turbulence enters their otherwise quotidian lives.

My Comment:
It's exciting at first, get acquainted by giving back the lost wallet and very unique. And i can join Paris, the life of Paris. But, it was getting weirder and abnormal. It was like you cheated in front of that person and it was irrational, plus a confusing ending. What is the connection of this movie with wild grass? And cats?

My Comment:
I should have watched this movie before i watched Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky (2009). When I watched Coco and Igor, i was very confused with Coco's attitude, she was brave and very blunt. This movie explained them all. I gotta say that Audrey Tautou was very talented, and I think that her Coco's character was pretty much the same with Anna Mouglalis in Coco and Igor. It seemed like Coco and Igor was the sequel of Coco Avant Chanel. But the difference is that Anna's Coco was braver and wilder and off course different in direction.
