Go with Le Flo

Saw it twice, once with a lady, once with a guy friend. Good both times.

This is a sweet, unpretentious comedy that uses lighthearted humor, impossible situations, absurdity and a little tongue in cheek delivery to bring a very clean, delightful story to the screen.

The setting is charming.

The subtitles are well paced.

Take a break from Hollywood tedium, and try something creative and fresh.

Go With Le FLo!

If you love European cinema, you'll find this a gem. In "Go with le Flo", we have a hapless hero, Florian, who has one German and one French parent. He's grown up German, but is enthralled by French romanticism - and would secretly rather be French. So when he falls into the presence of a French film star - literally - he is overcome with emotion. And his profession? Salami salesman. That is to say, he owns a French delicatessen in Berlin called "Le Flo". We've also already discovered that he is much more sensitive when differentiating between types of salami than he is when reacting to the emotions of others. Florian's M. Hulot-type encounters are full of slapstick and visual humour, within which are various references to well-loved films by Truffaut, Fellini, Jeunet, and others. However, you might be surprised to learn that this is not a European production. American screenwriter, director, and musician Michael Glover presents us with fine cinematography, and a script lurching between German and French, highlighting his love of Europe and European culture, in what is a light, but classy, attempt at the play-within-a -play trope. It's not without a few human truths, either, served up to you with a little brotchen, salami, and Roquefort.

Go With The Flo is funny slapstick romantic comedy with a lot of heart. Produced on a shoestring budget, this is an example to all of us that where there's a will there's a way.

Interestingly, the movie is a bit of paradox. Although cutting edge DIY equipment is used to create the film, the actual content hearkens back to the simple effective storytelling styles of years past. Direct, heart-warming, character driven story with slapstick comic relief.

Michael Glover and Robyn Rosenkrantz have yet again set a high bar for the phrase - GO GETTER.

Go see the movie, meet these 2 wonderful creators and I promise it'll warm your heart.

We watched this because the other choices were too dark and heavy for the current times. We wanted something light, quirky, and fun. Boy did this deliver! The two main characters were delightful and lovable. It was enjoyable and left us feeling much better about the days. Another delight was the credits at the end...matching the names with images of the actors and crew was wonderful and made us feel as if we were invited into the films family.

It was good and I'd recommend it to everyone

It doesn't happen often that you go to a theater to watch a movie and are being surprised. This is what happened when I watched 'Go With Le Flo' at the Downtown Independent Theater.

What I experienced for 80 minutes was not some fantasy world or exotic tale far from my own life but the lovely spirit of a contemporary filmmaker capturing the joy of everyday life: The fun we have with awkward moments, the hilarious entanglements and slapstick scenes that happen to us usually when nobody is around to record it for the world to see.

I came out of this movie with a light heart having encountered real people in a real world with real problems and it all makes sense. What's new about this romantic comedy? The unique way in which it was captured on screen, and the palpable joy of cast and film team working on real locations comes across in every frame.

'Go With Le Flo' is as delicate as a summer breeze in Berlin: if you don't open your heart, you'll miss it.
