Blind Date (2015)

Actor-turned-director Clovis Cornillac co-writes, directs and co-stars in his debut feature film, an unconventional take on the romantic comedy genre where the two leads remain practically anonymous throughout the film. Co-starring Mélanie Bernier.

"Clovis Cornillac plays a man, known only as Machin, who builds puzzles for a living. Creating his mind-benders requires hours of intensive concentration in solitude and silence. Mélanie Bernier stars as his attractive new neighbour, a classical pianist known only as Machine. She revels in the constant sound of music and is currently rehearsing for a career-making competition. The provocative virtuoso poses a seemingly unsolvable puzzle for the short-tempered shut-in. Their apartments are separated by a few inches of brick wall – not nearly thick enough for the peace and quiet Machin needs, but far too thick for the companionship he secretly craves."
