HAPPENSTANCE

Director: Laurent Firodz
Language:French
Courtesy: Netflix
My Rating: @ @ @

Synopsis: I found this to be a very cute independent film... A kinda sorta believer in horoscopes and on a quest to find that "true love" myself... I was able to relate with Irene, the lead in the film. The film brings together several random characters whose paths cross intermittently in a span of 24 hours, all to bring together two strangers whose paths had crossed earlier in the day. There s very little dialogue of the lead characters and that to me signified the "Less is More" concept in the movie. Some parts were very philosophical and suddenly some parts so melodramatic that I honesty felt like it was straight out from a Bollywood movie, but all in all a kinda quirky approach to a standard love story. 
Watch it once..
