(I'm Crazy About) Iris Blond 1996


Iris Blond     Romeo consults a fortuneteller in Brussels.  He is a musician in his 40’s without a hit in 20 years.  She tells him he will meet a foreign woman who is a singer named for a flower.  Right away he meets, Marguerite.  She is a singer named for a flower and she loves her barking dog, Corneille.  Things are going well for a while until they go on a diet together.  Romeo heads out to walk Corneille so he can stuff himself with food at nearby café.  He meets Iris, she is a 25 year-old waitress, singer and named after a flower.  Romeo breaks it off with Marguerite and moves in with Iris.  They work together creating songs, music and a persona for Iris.
     There isn’t very much going for this movie.  Not even really a comedy.  I did enjoy seeing the scenery of Brussels but that was about all.  Corneille is the best actor!!  2 ½* (This movie is so-so)  

110 min, Comedy directed by Carlo Verdone with Caludia Gerini, Andrea Ferreol, Carlo Verdone, Nello Mascia, Nuccia Furno, Mino Reitano.

Note:  Imdb 6.2 out of 10, 55% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Film Crave 2.00/4.
Special Note:  The DVD I watched does not have “I’m Crazy About” on the cover but only Iris Blond?
