Barnie's Minor Annoyances

2001 · 80 min Comedy Drama
5.3 / 10 · TMDB

Barnie lives in Calais but works in London. Everyday, he takes the Eurostar to go to his office. Although he is married to Lucie, Barnie has two lovers in London: Margot, a young and fresh advertising executive, and Mark, a hot 35 years old auctioneer. Everything could work out fine like that, until Margot, Mark and Lucie separately offer Barnie the same birthday present: a return ticket to Venice on the Orient-Express, and on the same dates. What will Barnie do? Who will he choose to go with? After thinking that going with Lucie could actually save his marriage, problems are not over: Margot and Mark both show up at Barnie and Lucie's house, pretending to be a couple, and asking Barnie for some explanations. Which he obviously can't give...

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the absurdity of the premise, relying on a classic farcical setup of a love triangle that unexpectedly becomes a square. It explores the inevitable collapse of a double life with a light, ironic touch, never descending into heavy moralizing.

What lingers after the final credits is the actors' graceful performances, where each character remains both comical and deeply human. A charming study of self-inflicted chaos. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Bruno Chiche

With a glass of wine, ready for some quintessentially French situational humor.
