John's bewilderment that Juliette is curing the very patients that are driving him bonkers is hysterically funny. Juliette's genuine, caring concern for John's underlying emotional problems with his family is touching.
It's easy to love both of these character's and to wish them all the happiness their two hearts can hold. This movie is so worth the price of admission into their private lives. It's a lovely dream of a romantic comedy that you will want to visit over and over again. Don't pass this one by.
Once more, Chantal Akerman proves us why she is still the flaming torch in this field of Belgium. Admirable direction and enjoyable performances al the way through.
A must see.

Sehr charmant von den Hauptdarstellern Binoche und Hurt gespielt. Die Unterschiede der französischen und amerikanischen Lebensweise werden brilliant und sehr humorvoll dargestellt. Natürlich sind einige Szenen etwas überzeichnet, was der Sache aber absolut nicht schadet.
Ein richtiger Gute-Laune-Film. Sehr zu empfehlen.
-Juliette est une parisienne montmartroise qui vit avec un petit gars qui l'ennuie...elle décide de s'offrir des vacances -pas chères- en réalisant un échange d'appartement avec un américain...
Elle va partir à l'aveuglette et le sort lui réservera une fameuse surprise...Elle va habiter à New york dans l'appartement très luxueux d'un riche psychanalyste...
Elle jubile et découvre aussi un chien qui va l'adorer....Les choses se pimentent avec l'arrivée de patients soignés par le psy (en vacances) et qui s'installent d'emblée sur le divan pensant avoir affaire à une remplaçante...
Prouesses et gags se succèderont jusqu'à l'arrivée comme patient du médecin lui même.
-Lui, le médecin va tomber dans un logement sous les toits, où fuites d'eau et intrusion du copain finiront par le chasser de Paris et le ramener dare-dare à New York...
La suite je ne la dévoilerai, pas mais vous la devinez !
