Based on Amelie Nothomb's bestselling novel, Tokyo Fiancée is an entertaining romantic comedy that will appeal to fans of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amelie and Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation.
The young, pixie-like Amelie is in love with all things Japanese, which prompts her to buy a one-way ticket to Tokyo to immerse herself in Japanese culture completely. She offers to work as a French tutor and soon finds herself enjoying a passionate relationship with her only student, the charming Rinri. As the two explore the joys (and awkwardness) of their first real romance and the colorful city around them, many cultural barriers fall, but some remain.
This utterly charming romantic comedy played in the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival seduced audiences in Europe with its whimsical style and its playful look at misunderstandings, complications, and the problems that arise from cultural stereotypes. Pauline Etienne, as Amelie, is winsome and wonderful as the enthusiastic young woman on a cross-cultural adventure of the heart. "'Amelie' meets 'Lost in Translation'...playful yet poignant." -The Hollywood Reporter
"Charming, whimsical...mixes playfulness and intellect."-Variety
