Slog - Comments on Why I love Romain Duris http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/why_i_love_romain_duris Duris as Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, AKA Molière Well, what's not to love? Like his countryman Mathieu Amalric (Munich), the heavy-browed, hairy-chested Duris is attractive in an unconventional sort of way and incredibly versatile. He was charming as a shaggy drummer in When the Cat's Away, believable as a brooding pianist in The Beat That My Heart Skipped, and hilarious as a lovelorn writer in Russian Dolls. You may also recognize him from L'Auberge Espagnole (the precursor to Dolls), Le Divorce, CQ, and Gadjo Dilo. This year, SIFF presents two Duris selections. Molière, the closing night film, doesn't exactly break new...

Roman Duris is fine. He was adorable in "L'Auberge Espagnole." Wanted to spread him on a cracker (as they say). Loved the character he created with that kind of sweet cock-suredness.

Duris is on par with Mathieu Kassowitz. Part of what made "Amelie" so much fun was that she got that prize at the end.

Yay! Finally some film reviews I can enjoy reading. Kathy, where do you fall on the uber-important topic of Hilary Swank's teeth?

Her recent film roles, however, are another story... That said, I probably notice teeth just as much as Lindy. My turn-off—if you will—is not so much big, white teeth, but tiny, little rat teeth. Take Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver, for instance. Looks harmless enough, but when he smiles—that's when Travis Bickle really comes alive.
