Coeurs (2006)

English title: Private Fears in Public Places.

Several characters, one thing in common: loneliness. A man and a woman who work together as realtors, yet do not have any personal relationship. He lives with his sister, who meets people through date sites in the internet. There is also a couple who is looking for an apartment. He is an army reject and an alcoholic. His favorite bartender, a homosexual whose partner has died, lives with his invalid father.

The script is very British, comical in a mild and antiquated way. It is filmed in a very French way, the emphasis being on melancholy, whence the change of title. It is like watching two films at once, a weird experience.
