Conte d'automne (1998)

Synopsis: Magali doesn't have a boyfriend and her friends try to fix her up with men. 
Appraisal: This film follows some simultaneous stories of relationships of people close to the widow Magali, and the process of finding her a companion. The proceedings are not unlike a game, and the dialogue at one point even brings that up (but I don't remember which point it is). The screenplay is well structured and I found myself pulling for the protagonist. There is quite a lot of intelligent dialogue in this film, which makes watching it a pleasant experience. 
Rating: 66
