A chronic cheater is caught by her husband and locks herself in a hotel room, where she is visited by ghosts from her past. The film fascinated me with its dreamlike, surreal setting mixed with quirky comedy, particularly shining in its final scenes which will surely leave a lasting impression on me. However, I found it somewhat undecided in its tone. While it occasionally leans into compelling psycho-drama, for the most part, it sticks to lighthearted comedy, handling many moments a bit too superficially, with the character of the submissive husband remains paper-thin despite his multiple incarnations.

[Filmin] Tiny movie. Comedy with some brilliant moments. It's easy to empathize with the lovers, it's easy to fall in love with Chiara Mastroianni. A little more depth in development is lacking. An end of the road that does not give us the feeling that we have walked at all. Everything remains the same. You must be faithful to infidelity.

_Chambre 212_ / _On a Magical Night_ is the new kid at the front of the class trying to become the teacher's pet by showing off their dissected frog. The film takes an interesting approach by having the characters appear as different ages and interacting with themselves and each other, but sadly the discussion that ensues is every pseudo intellectual French dissection of a dead relationship. Add to that a Vincent Lacoste who seems less interesting with each successive film and a Benjamin Biolay who never was and you have an Michel Gondry idea smothered by smug pretentiousness.
