Man, vrouw, hondje

About This Movie

So, 'Man, vrouw, hondje' is quite the gem from 1999. Directed by Nicole van Kilsdonk, it dives into the unexpected romance between Louise and Max, both in their seventies. The pacing is a bit leisurely, which really allows you to savor their peculiar journey through the South of France. It’s not just about their antics, though—there's a deeper exploration of aging and desire, as they reinvent themselves as con artists. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, and you can feel the spontaneity of their adventures. The cinematography captures the sun-soaked landscapes beautifully, contrasting with the darker undertones of their schemes. It’s quirky, it’s charming, and there's something refreshingly offbeat about the whole premise.
