hit a nerve, not just in his country but also on the worldwide art house circuit. Now it has been Americanized, and for those fearing something unworthy of the original, fear not. In the hands of the Oscar-winningscreenwriters, the writing and directing team of Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who share script credit here with Jesse Armstrong , are too smart to screw this up.
The tension between the pair builds throughout the brisk 86-minute running time and comes to a head in an extraordinary 11-minute scene in which they are visited by a office colleague of Pete’s named Zach , who is travelling through Europe with his girlfriend, Rosie , and somehow winds up in the same area as Pete and family. In a tense, to say the least, encounter, they find themselves in the middle of an increasingly taut argument between Pete and Billie, with accusations and excuses flying.
Among the supporting cast, Woods and Chau are excellent, especially in the tense scene that looks like something out ofas they are unwittingly stuck in a fight not of their making. Miranda Otto serves up some sharp if broad comic relief as a local who likes to talk about sex lives, hers and everyone else’s. There’s also some brief work from Giulio Berruti, Billie’s ski instructor who gets a little too close for comfort.
Producers are Stefanie Azpiazu, Anthony Bregman and Louis-Dreyfus. The newly rechristened Searchlight Pictures releases via Disney on Valentine’s Day, not exactly the perfect date night subject, probably.
