Camille Rewinds
Camille redouble

Noemie Lvovsky’s remake of (or take on) Francis Ford Coppola’s 1986 comedy Peggy Sue Got Married is light and funny French spin on that disappointing picture; making this a rare remake that outshines the original. Lvovsky plays Camille, a middle-aged, divorced women who magically goes back in time to her high-school days and is faced with the question of wether or not she would choose to get involved with her husband again knowing how the marriage ended up. Where as Kathleen Turner traveled from 1985 to 1960, Lvovsky travels from 2010 to 1985. The period detail is what give both films a lot of their charm, but this more modern take is better because it is even less concerned with the mechanics of the time travel and how to undo it. And while Samir Guesmi doesn't make the brave and bizarre choices Nicolas Cage made, the rest of this film's cast in more memorable.
