French title – “Ma Vie En L’air” / English title – “Love Is In The Air”
This is not a direct translation of the French title into English, which would be “My Life In The Air”. Although the actual English title used conveys the romance aspect of the film, I prefer the French title with its irony surrounding the main character. So only a rating of Fair for the title “Love Is In The Air” and I would use “My Life In The Air” as the English title.
I first saw “Ma Vie En L’air” at the tenth year of ColCoa on Saturday 8 April 2006 and I still like it. I think it is an inspired idea to have the main character, due to the circumstances of his birth, able to fly for free for life, but is afraid of flying and is a flight simulator instructor. Love it! Basic plot – boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, girl goes to Australia, boy unable to overcome flying fear to visit girl, boy and girl breakup. Ten years pass and now the fun begins – boy and two girls. As the current relationship saying states, “it’s complicated” and in the film, comedic. But the question is, would you still be with the person who threw away your comic books (insert own objects)? To me, at that point, “it’s not complicated” and not comedic.
