If life were but a game, how would you play it? In the French film "Love Me If You Dare", the two protagonists Julien and Sophie, go through life as if it were a game where only the two of them are players. Nothing really matters apart from winning.
From the very start of their friendship as children, Julien and Sophie are constantly putting each other up to a dare. They share a toy box which bears the picture of a carousel, and to win the box back, the person has to perform the dare that he/she has been put up to. This game of dares extends into adulthood, sometimes bearing dreadful consequences.
Watch for the funny antics that Julien and Sophie get up to as children. In adulthood, their relationship extends beyond friendship, bringing with it joy, sorrow, jealousy, death and love.
Sorry about the sucky review. I really need to go for a writing workshop on how to write reviews. I shall stop here and shan't subject my readers to too much of it. It has to be said that the lines, cinematography, editing, music and acting are fantastic. This charming film with its quirky script is a must-watch!
