Caprice

Caprice (2015) is a light French romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Writer-director Emmanuel Mouret casts himself as the lead, Clément — a schoolteacher whose head is completely turned.

Clément worships Alicia (Virginie Efira), a famous actress, and somehow she falls for him too. Almost a fairy tale. Then Caprice (Anaïs Demoustier) barges in — impulsive, all-or-nothing, hopelessly smitten with him. Meanwhile his best friend Thomas keeps getting suspiciously close to Alicia.

Mouret works in the talky, Rohmer-esque tradition: lots of conversation, tangled feelings and gentle irony instead of slapstick. A hundred minutes of easygoing French charm, ideal for a quiet evening. Stream Caprice (2015) online on iFILM.
