When Camille falls ill, she is forced to live with Philibert and Franck.
Hunting & Gathering is a gentle French romantic drama adapted from Anna Gavalda's novel. The plot follows familiar roommate-to-romance territory set in Paris, with warm but somewhat predictable character dynamics. The acting from Audrey Tautou and Guillaume Canet is competent and charming without being transformative. The cinematography captures Paris pleasantly but without distinctive visual ambition. The premise and execution are fairly conventional for the genre, offering little that distinguishes it from other French romantic dramas of the era. The ending wraps things up warmly but without particular surprise or resonance.
