The life of lonely prostitute Colette changes unexpectedly when she
receives an urgent phone call at night from one of her colleagues in
the business who has just been released from prison. Colette has never
seen this woman, but the unknown caller entrusts her with a task: she
asks her to pick up her son and bring him to the station the following
day. Colette doesn't yet realise that the problems facing the charge
entrusted to her, soon become her problems as well...
My Angel is one of those films where the characters
discover each other first and then discover themselves. Scene by scene, we
watch the changes unfold. The joy of this kind of cinema is that it allows
us to watch the
most secret metamorphosis of all: the change of feelings. If a reference comes
to mind, it has to be Cassavetes' Gloria . Deep down, this film is
a fast-moving story about the slow movement of feelings.
The role of Colette
was written expressly for Vanessa Paradis, who already played in a film based
on Frydman's screenplay, The Girl on the Bridge.
某夜，妓女歌拉接到一名快要出獄的同行的緊急求助電話，因而令她的生活從此起了變化。
歌拉與那女子素未謀面，但這不知名的女子卻委托她做一件事：她要歌拉到兒童院接她的兒子並在翌日早上帶孩子到火車站。當時，歌拉還未知悉被委托這任務所要面對的問題，而且很快還成為了她的問題……
《我的天使》是描寫劇中的人物先是互相了解，然後才對自己有更深的認識。片中一幕接一幕地把這些轉變在我們眼前逐一揭示。這類電影令人愜意的是它讓我們看到人性中最神秘的一種轉變，即感情上的轉變。腦海裡即時想到的例子是卡薩維的《鐵血娘子歌莉亞》。事實上，本片是以一個節奏快速的故事描寫有關感情轉折的緩慢。
歌拉這角色是特別為雲妮莎．巴拉迪編寫，她曾在費狄文撰寫劇本的《橋上的女孩》一片中演出。
