   Why the heck was "Coup de foudre" re-titled "Entre nous" for English speakers? 1) It's still a French phrase, and 2) the expression means "love at first sight", which is much more relevant to the story of two women who, in the post-WWII era, meet randomly and become fast (and best) friends. Diane Kurys is telling the story of her actual parents, so the biographical element pushes for mid-war "origins" I don't care about so much, but once Isabelle Huppert and Miou-Miou meet, I welled up or smiled or both on a pretty consistent basis. What a lovely relationship, even absent the fact that in a later life, these two would have been overtly gay. Their husbands are surplus to requirements (in their lives, not in the film) and we're treated to unromanticized family units where the bond between the two friends is stronger than between husband and wife (neither married for love, after all) or between mother and child. A beautiful film about finding "your person", whether purely expressed as friendship or leading to something more. 6 months 3 weeks ago
