basics...
Billed as a French 'comedy' alongside a 4/5 star review in Radio Times, Let's Talk About the Rain was a typically leisurely comedy-drama where very little happened. A young guy and his mentor decide to make a film about strong women, and interview a local political candidate.
brilliant...
Certain bits of the film were funny. And the scenery was beautiful. There was some really good character work as well - which is a good job as there was little plot.
but...
Less pretentious and navel-gazey than a lot of French fare, Rain was still ponderous, plotless and ultimately pointless. The main thing you take away is 'was that it?'. And to bill this as a comedy is stretching things a bit. More like a drama with a few funny lines.
briefly...
A missable movie whose title is as divorced from the story as the laughs.
