Travel agency receptionist Jeanne (Virginie Ledoyen and the singing voice of Elise Caron) is always on the lookout for men, and she thinks she's found the perfect guy in Olivier (Mathieu Demy, son of musical director Jacques Demy) -- who turns out to be HIV-positive. Shown at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival, the film is also known as Jeanne and the Perfect Guy. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

 Jeanne and the Perfect MovieJun 24, 2001
Wow. I've never seen a musical that covered so many issues: AIDs, Sex, Gay-Issues, Love. "Jeanne and the Perfect Guy" is a wonderful French musical about a woman who really loves sex, but finally falls in love, only to find that the object of her affection has AIDs. This musical is not only a splendid tale of love and angst, but is also a beautiful musical, with a moveing score and a lead actress who is beyond compare. Virginie Ledoyen matches an incomparable beauty with a lovely voice and a superb talent. She makes this musical the Perfect Movie.

Excellent entertainment!Aug 14, 2001
This show is delightful in its honesty and refreshing in its candour. The characters in the show, though somewhat lacking in actual ability to sing, carry the storyline, which tends to be thin, through with their innocence and energy. A very watchable film with catchy tunes and an attractive cast.

 Mediocre Homage to Jacques DemySep 25, 2006
By Kardius
My advice is to skip this French movie musical and get Jacques Demy's "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" and "The Young Girls of Rochefort" instead. This movie is clearly an homage to the Demy films (to the point of casting his son as the leading man, even though he doesn't really fit the type), but "Jeanne and the Perfect Guy" lacks the charm and the visual inventiveness of the Demy films. The best thing about the movie is Virginie Ledoyen, who is as beautiful and appealing as the young Catherine Deneuve was in Demy's most popular films. The worst thing is the music. It's downright awful and the mediocre songs only made me aware of how important Michel Legrand's score were to Jacques Demy's films and the importance of a good score to any movie musical in general. I'm sure the filmmakers heart was in the right place (especially in their efforts to bring topics like immigration and AIDS to the musical genre), but their musical and visual execution falls short.

might just be fantasticAug 23, 2000
By isisfaerie@msn.com
I caught about 1/3 of this movie on the Sundance channel one day, and have been obsessed with seeing the rest ever since. I can't say I know how good it is, since I haven't seen it in it's entirity... but what I saw absolutely enchanted me. A foreign musical about sex, love, AIDS, irony... who could resist? The cinematography is gorgeous, brilliant use of RGB colour. Deffinately one I'd preffer in DVD.
