Peut-être
Arthur is invited to a New Year's Eve party to celebrate the year 2000. His girlfriend Lucie would like a baby from him but he refuses. Through the ceiling of the toilets, he discovers a passage leading to this futurist Paris. There, he meets an old man Ako who affirms he is his son and that he wants to exist. Otherwise he will vanish into the air. Arthur is still hesitant because his life is an unfulfilled one: a has a little lucrative job, is uncertain about his future and things are getting out of hand when Ako discovers the passage and interferes in the party.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
it takes place Dec 31st 1999, in Paris.its about a young fellow being pressured by his girl to bring a baby in to the world, and how he gets to go into the future thru some unorthodox method (pretty simple and original), how he meets his son, and grandkids, en so on, so that he can make a decision about parenting.if you're a fan of art cinema, something different than you're usual box office hits, and you have some kind of different conception of what it means to see a movie, .. this is a very good one, don't expect super special effects, but its a good story, with good actors definitely worth seeing.
i saw may be at a French film festival and was very impressed about the way in which the director has portrayed the importance of the "holy wedlock" and " blessed family" through the film. the message that i thought that the director wanted to portray is that now i this fast world, where all value systems are crumbling and people are finding themselves without a center in the postmodern world, the director tries to reinstate the importance of clinging on to the principles of love, responsibility and family. no one knows what will happen in future but come what may, the generations need to keep going on and the concept of "family" must live.
This film was a fantastic pre-Y2K film, with a fantastic soundtrack some top-notch actors and some wonderful effects. Peut-etre is a comedy/sci-fi that explores the flight of young adult couples in france. Basically this film is a lot of fun, but you will need a decent sense of humour to appreciate it.
Brilliant film. It's about a young couple going to a y2k party, she wants a baby there and then, he's not sure and through a little incident the chance is lost. He then accidentally finds a way into the future and encounters his son (Belmondo) who is starting to lose his leg because he's not made yet. The whole future family tries now with different methods to persuade him to change his mind or they are all lost. I say no more I saw it with english subtitles and missed probably some of the more in-jokes, but even though a thoroughly enjoyable experience. You have a film with a rather serious background ( reasons for having a baby or not, while thinking about the future), great actors ( have a look at the totally stoned brother), loads of enjoyable little sequences ( the beginning is great . I thougth first I was in the wrong movie; and then the next ten minutes relate very nicely to the title, pay attention to details there). The Paris in the sand is very well done with loads of details in the background. All in all if you have some French, go and see it.
