Jacques Audiard 's film '' The Beat That My Heart Skipped , '' which relocates Mr. Toback 's violent , willfully unstable psychodrama from 70 's New York to 21st-century Paris , has to be one of the unlikeliest remakes in the history of the movies , and not only because '' The Beat That My Heart Skipped , '' which opened Friday in New York and Los Angeles , is actually a strong picture in its own right .
