Trivia
Madame Proust helps Paul remember his childhood using madeleines dipped in herbal tea. Marcel Proust's most famous work, Remembrance of Things Past, begins with involuntary memory brought about the same way.

Quotes
Mme Proust: I don't believe in your heaven! I'm a Buddhist. I'm a Buddhist and screw you. Heaven is right here and you're screwing it up!Just read the damn toilet door! "Please leave this place as clean as it was when you found it!". You treat your crapper better than the planet. Be careful. One day, the non-violent will get violent! And that's going to hurt!

Crazy credits
During the opening Pathe! logo, the last five notes of the fanfare are played on a music box.

Quirky for quirky's sake?

I enjoyed Chomet's TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE, but have to say that I was in the minority with his follow-up THE ILLUSIONIST, in that I was slightly disappointed. This film is similar, so I guess I won't be putting myself into the fan camp for this director.

That being said, there was still plenty of charm, wit, romance and humour in this take on how we are shaped by our memories. I did enjoy it but, on reflection, I think I was just continuously being reminded of better French quirkiness like AMELIE. This one just felt a little too.........random? (But it was at least much better than the dire MOOD INDIGO)
