Clara et moi is a French film that stars Julien Boisselier and Julie Gayet. I really enjoyed watching this realistic love story that takes place in one of my favorite cities, Paris.
Antoine (Boisselier) is an actor, having given up his business career to pursue his dream. He is unhappy that he has not yet found the right women. One day, serendipity strikes on the Metro when Antoine meets a beautiful woman, Clara (Gayet), who gives him her telephone number. At a surprise birthday party that evening Antoine, though happy with his close friends' display of love for him, thinks only of the beautiful Clara. As expected he calls Clara, they meet, a romance begins, and they fall in love. Feeling commitment coming, they decide to be tested for HIV and Clara discovers she is HIV positive. Antoine cannot deal with this fact and decides to not support her. He movies on! You can see that this is very realistic. It did not matter to Antione that he had a solid, loving relationship. I will say not more. I highly recommend this excellent movie that will make you think of the nature of modern relationships.
