I was just alerted to an awesome fun French comedy from 1998. It reminded me of another favorite film. These are two doses of Light Comedy to dispel doom and gloom.
It is a synchronisity for me to be sent the info on this film. Everywhere I look, people are referencing the power of humor and are empowered co-medically to ignore angry flack.

This is an light romantically absurd and intelligently whimsical comedy in which God writes a screenplay and goes to earth to find someone to make the film.
