Tasty, If Not Exactly Fresh
Director Eric Guirado gives us pretty much what we expect of both the Provence and the Liberating Goddess conventions. Claire, for instance, seems unnaturally perfect in every conceivable way—she’s creative, she’s smart, she’s gorgeous, she’s got the build of a supermodel who stopped worrying about her hip measurements, she’s got the disposition of an angel, and she’s sexually open enough to move the plot forward—which sure helps in loosening up Antoine, and in keeping audience interest from flagging until he does so. And, of course, we get to see a great many stunning Provence landscape as Guirado’s camera follows Antoine and Claire from mobile shopsite to mobile shopsite.
