"The Day I Saw Your Heart": There is nothing metaphorical about the title of this charming French movie – that's all I'll say. Eli is a 60-year-old man about to have his third child. His other two eccentric daughters don't take the news too well. Justine (played by the beautiful Mélanie Laurent) is the trouble child that Eli tries to get close to by making friends with all of her exes… without her knowledge. She also makes art by x-raying all kinds of disparate objects. Strange? Yeah, almost Jeunet-esque, but it all works wonderfully.—SJA
