Romantics Anonymous

A recent surprise hit in France, the delectable comedy Romantics Anonymous tells the story of Angélique an unemployed but gifted chocolate-maker with a lifelong case of uncontrollable shyness and Jean-René who suffers from a similar problem and runs a fledgling chocolate company in desperate need of a new direction. When Jean-René hires Angélique as the new sales associate, the two must face their deepest fears. With a deliciously witty script filled with rich characters that are packed with honesty and humor director Améris teases out the fairy-tale quality of this timid romance while grounding the film's charm and spirit firmly in its lovable and authentic protagonists and their quest for emotional freedom.
