Audrey Tautou is Nathalie, a beautiful, happy, and successful Parisian business executive who finds herself suddenly widowed after a three-year marriage to her soul mate. To cope with her loss, she buries herself and her emotions in her work to the dismay of her friends, family and co-workers. One day, inexplicably, her zest for life and love is rekindled by a most unlikely source, her seemingly unexceptional, gauche, and average looking office subordinate, Markus (French comic star Francois Damiens, Heartbreaker). At first stunned by Nathalie's unexpected attention, Markus comes to gradually believe in her feelings and shifts into romantic high gear. As their relationship goes from awkward to genuinely loving, Nathalie and Markus will have to overcome a host of obstacles including everyone else's judgmental perceptions as well as their own self-doubts. Review: Hooray for the underdogs! - This French delicacy proves you don't need an enormous budget to craft a movie that is beautiful, clever and magical. I thoroughly enjoyed this from start to picture-perfect finish. While tragedy strikes early on, as the story develops you begin to feel that if you can live in the present (at least some of the time) and stay true to your ideals and your heart, life will continue to surprise and delight! Audrey Tautou once again shows she's way more than just a pretty face - her emotions are raw and her persona relatable. I love that the film eschewed romcom conventions and celebrated the wisdom of appreciating goodness in others beyond a fancy façade. Francois Damiens is a revelation. Even when flying below the radar, his comical presence elevates every scene he's in. As the shy Swedish dumpling, it's impossible not to fall in love with him. In real life, seemingly opposite types attract now and again. Just as Markus could be spellbound by Nathalie, I found it as believable that she would be floored by his humility and humour and his overall dorky ways. If more people took their approach to relationships, it'd be a much happier world. I found the characterization of office life hilarious - and realistic in that workplace relations can be fraught with all kinds of drama and must be navigated delicately. The musical selections are the perfect accompaniment to this tale of rediscovering your joie de vivre after a great loss. So many subtly funny moments. Hooray for the underdogs. Hooray for storytelling that doesn't overcompensate with commercial gimmicks. This is a one-of-a-kind film that re-affirms your appreciation for both the brevity of life and seizing the golden opportunities - no matter what anybody else thinks - while you can. Review: Delicacy - Love Audrey Tautou, she is so adept at quirky playfulness, but I was expecting a more serious role for her here, but it is a quaint comedic drama, and has an endearing ending of hope and survival. Was a little disappointed in the transitioning from the past to the present story line, it left a little more to be desired. Not a bad film, but in my opinion not a great one. I prefer her acting in the Dardennes brothers' movies.

Bien.
I love watching movies that cast Audrey Tautou. If you do to, then try this one out! I really enjoyed the pacing of this movie. It encompassed various forms of love: passion, true love, heartache, obsession, new love, supporting love, loyal love, past-present-future love... The movie can break your heart, but it'll pick you up again. Brief Synopsis: Nathalie, played by Tautou, is a captivating young woman who suffers a life altering loss. She attempts to cope independently, but that starts to change with the introduction of Markus, an awkward, yet charming co-worker. The relationship between the two is quirky and compelling, full of drama and humor.

Excellent product and service
Excellent product and service. This one was a great movie. I have always adored the great acting ability of Audrey tatou. This was heartbreaking and at the same time a very romantic journey of the best possible experience in love. If you like true to life believable film's this a really good one. But I will always be partial when audr is starring.

Romantic and funny
Such a lovely and refreshing movie. It is sweet, at times sad, with funny moments. Haven't laughed so much in a long while, yet the funny situations add sweetness and romance to it.

enjoyable
I love foreign films and have seen many starring Audrey Tautou. This one was okay but those who are true blockbuster movies may not enjoy it.

Already saw it in a local movie theatre
I have been a fan of Audrey Tautou since I saw Amelie. I own 7 Audrey Tautou DVD movies plus Delicacy but I have seen almost every single movie that she starred in. Normally her animated expression and humor made her movies entertaining. However, Delicacy is different and very endearingly romantic. Made me wish I was Nathalie Kerr (Audrey's character).

A beautiful love story
I loved everything about this film, the characters, story line, acting, and background detail. This makes a lovely companion to my other favourite Audrey Tautou love stories: 'Amélie' and 'A Very Long Engagement'. I enjoyed this film very much.

Delicacy - A Very Enjoyable Treat
Delicacy is a beautifully told love story, it is a film about loves - parents and grandparents, friends and colleagues, wives and widows. Audrey Tautou, Pio Marmai and François Damiens - the actors in the roles of the main love stories are superb, as are all of the supporting cast including Ariane Ascaride in the role of La mere de Nathalie. The film wouldn't be what it is without the brilliant part that François Damiens plays and yet he doesn't make an appearance for the first half-an-hour or so of the film. The story develops in a very realistic way and is all the better for it. The humour in the film is subtle gentle and realistic. The film is based on the best selling novel La Délicatesse by David Foenkinos and is directed by the author, so presumably this is the image the author wanted us to envisage from the written page. I would be hard pushed to find anything to fault about this film. The acting, the directing, the cinematography, the music - all work to make a really beautiful film. The extras on the DVD include Bloopers, Deleted Scenes and a Trailer. An album called Franky Knight by Emilie Simon, is the soundtrack to the film. Ariane Ascaride has a minor role as the mother of Audrey Tautou's character, I watched her, in a leading role in the film A Common Thread [DVD ]recently where she played the part of a woman who had lost her son in a motorbike accident, so it was interesting to see her in the role of a mother of a bereaved daughter, two very different films, but I would recommend them to anyone who appreciates Non-Hollywood films.

Delicada
Tal y como dice el título de esta película, así la describiría. No me canso de verla porque a pesar de no gustarme las películas románticas en exceso ésta tiene variedad de temas y te hacen pensar un poco más allá. Tiene la opción de audio en francés motivo por el cuál también la compré. Muy satisfecha.
