This movie was fascinatingly interesting on both a storytelling basis (all subset stories - appropriately divided like sections of a newspaper) and as a storyline of the ghost of journalism past. As a child of the 60s who grew up in the newspaper business, I know these adaptions to be true even with hyperbole. Also, as a tourist to France many times, I loved the realistic portrayals of French life! Might I add that the guest list of A list star power made it even more appealing! Bravo!
