Happenstance

Bring on the Gallic inscrutability. Actually, it's not really so inscrutable, but the movie does present a complex story--more a series of vignettes, really--about tangentially related events in the lives of a handful of Parisians. If you're something of a philosophe, and don't mind subtitles, you might dig this one. And it does have the ever-watchable Audrey Tautou, though not nearly enough of her for my taste. (By the way, the French title (Le battement d'aile du papillon) means "The beating of a butterfly's wings," if you were curious--a reference to the famous "butterfly effect.")
