The Butterfly (2002) Le papillon (original title): All Julien (Michel Serrault) wants to do in his old age is collect and preserve butterflies. But when a woman (Nade Dieu) and her 8-year-old daughter Elsa (Claire Bouanich) take residence in his building, his world opens up for good. (7.1)

Writer: Philippe Muyl
Stars: Michel Serrault, Claire Bouanich and Nade Dieu
Language: French (w/ English subtitles)
A feel-good movie about an inter-generational connection between an old man a young child. The story is quite simple, but the way it is presented holds the drama. There is a hint of a back-story to the characters, but not much is explained. The cinematography and the selection of locations is quite nice. As the young child Bouanich gives a very good performance without being overly sweet. My Rating: 7.0
