Same Old Song France, Switzerland, United Kingdom 1997 | 120 min | OV | Colour | FF 2011

With Paris as a backdrop, everybody in this lighthearted merry-go-round is either looking for love or an apartment or both. The most original feature of this "musical" is that characters break into songs as sung by the original artists, i.e. depending on the circumstances, a female character may all of a sudden start singing in a male voice and vice versa. The variety of songs and styles make for some very funny surprises, considering the voluntary absence of transitions between the talking and singing. No wonder the film is dedicated to Dennis Potter.
