Great Film overall

Don't listen to the negative reviews

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I had the opportunity to watch three movies in this theme line. "Lulu Femme Nue" reminds me of "Shirley Valentine", a lovely British production, as well as "Bread and Tulips", the delicious Italian version. A middle aged woman, married with children, whose monotonous life is suddenly interrupted and she starts wondering and questioning, tired of her routine. It's time for a break! Then, she gets away from home and wanders around, meets people, who change her life and vice- versa. More importantly, she meets herself and finds out she's alive. Like the other films, Lulu is a feel good movie, refreshing like swimming naked in the chilly sea at the French coast. The three movies make me think that the human nature has no boundaries, specially women. We have the same questions, the same dreams and fears, no matter the nationality.
