Fonteyne edges closer than most to capturing the mysterious rhythms of liaisons -- pornographique, romantique, and otherwise.
It is about the desiring itself, not about what they desire. That makes it more intriguing than if we knew their secret--and sexier.
This wee, discreet little movie has a certain rueful intelligence about the ways we rather carelessly talk ourselves into love--and out of it as well.
This sweet, pensive gabfest is neither conventionally romantic nor pornographic.
Halfway through, it becomes clear that the filmmakers don't know how to end the film.
A delicate mood piece that owes much of its languorous charm to the understated intelligence of its two leads.
Clearly, this is an affair to forget.
