Synopsis: Helmed by legendary French director Alain Resnais (HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR), NOT ON THE LIPS is a stunning operetta. Stylistically resembling an early-20th century film, Resnais casts Audrey Tatou... Helmed by legendary French director Alain Resnais (HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR), NOT ON THE LIPS is a stunning operetta. Stylistically resembling an early-20th century film, Resnais casts Audrey Tatou (AMELIE) and Sabine Azéma (SAME OLD SONG) as two women vying for the affections of Charly (Jalil Lespert). Comedic capers ensue, with the cast indulging in many musical numbers along the way. Fans of Baz Luhrmann's MOULIN ROUGE should find much to love in NOT ON THE LIPS. [More]

I can't think of another French movie that's given me as much pleasure in years.

Artfully staged and enthusiastically performed but unavoidably pretentious.

Performances are hilariously camp and broad, yet somehow manage to get beneath the surface

Collapses under the weight of its own theatricality.

The movie oozes kitsch but is not without class.
