Help me identify this film

Just watched 500 days of Summer . The narrator’s voice has put me in mind of another film which I just cannot remember . Think in the film I cannot remember the narrator accent was ever so slightly french. It is a romantic movie, two lovers who may or may not get their act together . No idea ! It’s driving me nuts not being able to remember . It’s to Amalie, but I’m thinking the style is a bit similar. It’s not BigFish either but again this film keeps getting in the way of me recalling the actual movie.
Long shot but anyone care to take a wild guess so I can get some sleep tonight. Grin

Sounds like before sunset or one of the other two films in the trilogy, with Julie Delphy and Ethan hawke.

Could it be a Wes Anderson film? They’re often narrated.

Stranger than fiction? Not french but it has a narrator and is from around that time

The Hairdresser’s Husband?

Big fish was 2003 and Chocolat was 2000 so I would be suggesting Chocolat again. It really fits the bill.

The film is from the era of big Fish

Big Fish was released in 2003, The Age of Adaline in 2015!

Doyoumind · 11/09/2021 12:23

Moulin Rouge? Kind of French and Ewan McGregor which might be why you keep thinking Big Fish.
