A French Rom-Com About Typing Competitions

Watch on YouTube

A few years ago I opined, on the subject of international speed-typing competitions, that there really ought to be a movie or series about the subject. Turns out there already was such a movie: Populaire, a French romantic comedy that came out in 2012. The reviews seem to find it fun and frothy, which is likely another way of saying slight. In any event, as is often the case with recent French movies, it’s hard to find. The streaming services don’t seem to have it; I’ll probably have to grab a second-hand DVD or Blu-Ray and then hope it doesn’t have the wrong region code. [Robert Messenger]
