Watch Clara and Me For Free

How sad is this?

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Enough has been said on the usual topics, above. (Acting, script, filming, dialogs). I could repeat, but basta!! Instead, let me add another perspective. Which is not often dwelt on here in these IMDb columns, as probably most of the users are " young". This is the view of the " aging film lover" (me). "Clara et Moi" is the unique film, in its kind, by which I mean, a love story on a couple of , say, around 25-30, that not only gave me tears in my eye, but also made me long returning to the age when it was still possible to meet a person and fall in love with her (him) , in a way suitable with that age. Being well over 50, this is virtually impossible, if it were only for all you have experienced already. This gives credit to the incredible " chemistry" between the 2 actors. In its emotional impact on me I compare this one to Lost In TRanslation (Coppola, with Bill and Scarlett) . LIT showed me the potential of bridging the age gap between understanding people. Clara et Moi makes one regret not being young anymore...enough said !! See another action flick !!

Beautiful story, touching characters, great newcomer actors and above all......I have never seen any movie with a more organic scenario. All dialogs, behaviors, reactions, personal incoherences, etc just sound perfectly real-life-like.I would recommend it to any screen writing student as the sort of excellence to target.The story is not amazing but thanks to all this, you are totally into the movie and escape the potential "cheesiness" of the topic.Sublime

When I say that this movie is depressing, this does not mean that I disliked it or think you should avoid it. However, if you are a person that hates depressing movies and want a happy ending, this film is not for you. The story involves a love affair between a young actor and Clara. All is going magnificently until she discovers she has HIV and he cannot cope with this and leaves. While as you can see this would not make for a "feel good" movie, it certainly deserves kudos for originality and for taking on a tough topic. The acting is fine as is the writing in general but I had two problems with the film: first, the couple went from total strangers to sexual involvement with each other almost instantly. This isn't realistic and seems glamorized. This sort of behavior actually might have been the reason Clara contracted HIV, but this message is certainly not evident from the script. Come on, writers, it IS possible to talk about HIV AND promote responsible sexual behavior. Secondly, although this might be a GREAT film for teens due to its theme, the nudity, though sparse, is enough to prevent many teens from seeing it and learning about HIV. So, I liked the movie but wish they had somehow discussed how irresponsible sexual behavior CAN lead to HIV AND cut out a few nude bits here and there so younger kids can see it.

I'm more than happy to agree with and endorse the only two comments that have so far been posted for this deceptive soufflé laced with shrapnel. This is the third film this year in which I've seen Julien Boisselier but the other two (Je m'en sen pas belle - I Don't Feel Pretty, and 'Tout Le Plaisir est pour moi - The Pleasure's All Mine) are unlikely to be shown outside France and he's clearly a more than competent light comedian cum romantic leading man. The chemistry between him and Julie Gayet has to be seen to be believed, Viard often shoots them in close up just looking at each other and it's impossible not to believe they aren't really in love. For his first movie Arnaud Viard has chosen a tried and true subject, Romance for young adults that in the wrong hands could go terribly wrong resulting in embarrassment all round but he brings it off superbly taking it into the class of one of those movies you wish would never end plus, to his great credit, he has avoided the happy ending and in so doing reminded us of what bittersweet really means. 9/10
