All to no avail until she falls in love with Alexis, a Socialist Party activivst and promptly joins the aprty becoming an ardent activist. Can Camille make Alexis love her and get him away from his wife? Can she get her life back on the straight and narrow? La Nouvelle Eve is a wonderfully crafted, true to life and poignant story, perceptively directed by Catherine Corsini.
Review
Perfectly cast, Viard portrays with verve and energy a character as selfish and contrary as she is endearing. --Time Out Film Guide
A fun, feel-good movie for a contemporary audience. --Sight and Sound

Great French movie,
By
This review is from: La Nouvelle Eve [1999] [DVD] (DVD)
I saw that movie when it came out quite a while ago, loved it then, and loved it each time I saw it in video since. I was looking forward to it coming out in DVD. So I am delighted now that it is!
The main character is a quirky 30 something year old woman, a bit lost with herself, who falls in love with an unavailable married man. This movie is about her journey to grow out of that period of her life. It is smart and funny though also serious.

A Cinematic 'Emporers New Clothes',
By Rik P "Rik P" (Bournemouth, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Nouvelle Eve [1999] [DVD] (DVD)
Hugely disappointed with this film. The French are usually excellent at these type of films charting the twisted relationships of their central characters, but this is self-indulgent tosh. The characters prompt no sympathetic or emotional response and the whole thing lacks substance. Avoid.

The New Eve, So French, So Fun,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Eve [DVD] [1998] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This is a great romantic comedy with all the twists and turns of a typical French film. Camille (Karin Viard) is a bored young woman who hangs out at [exotic] clubs and often ends the night passed out from too much liquor and drugs. She has a disfunctional brother with a pregnant wife. One day she meets a socialist worker, Alexis, with whom she rapidly falls deeply in love. After she finds out he is married, she becomes involved with a truck driver and a lesbian. The sex scenes are fun, but not explict. The ending is poignant and sweet.

Karin Viard is a great actress,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
i have to say that i saw this film with spanish translation and thank God because the whole thing is in French. And i dont understand French because i dont speak it at all. i only speak spanish and english ,but i thought this motion picture was great and really worth my time viewing. Karin Viard, is truly, a fantastic actress who works at her character quite well.She is truly a gifted actress. i think she is very cute too. She plays a woman who falls in love with a married man and finds out that the married man will not leave her wife(teacher) for her. the situation infuriates Camille (Karin Viard)and so she works very hard at persuading him with words and positive actions at the work place that the only person she truly loves is him, that he is the love of her life. the ending is really something, which i feel everyone should see.ending is really sweet and beautiful and one actually wants a happy ending for camille in which it does happen. this motion picture titled "New Eve" which stars Karin Viard should be broadcasted on the major networks of this country (USA). movies such as these have so much feeling and soul.Great motion picture.... Ms. Karin Viard..sensational! buy it, very touching!

Another typical french romantic comedy!,
By Vahania63 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Eve [DVD] [1998] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
The movie is a typical french romantic comedy and this is rather a complement. As usual in such films you can expect deep pchylogical observations, in this case of quite unstable single woman in her thirties (played fabulously by Karin Viard). There is plenty of humor and even sarcasm in the movie. I was rather a little disappointed by the ending (contrary to what some other viewers said here) since I felt that it somehow didn't follow the spirit of the movie - therefore only four stars. But overall, if you like romantic comedies and/or like french movies you will not be disappointed.
