  • Summary: Catherine (Ardant) is an attractive woman with a great career and a seemingly solid marriage to Bernard (Depardieu), her husband of 25 years.

    Similar to the recent Emmanuelle Devos drama "Gilles' Wife," but it's as cool as that one was melodramatic.

    Nathalie becomes a complicated three-handed game, far more concerned with the narcissistic, pornographic and mutually manipulative relationship between Catherine and Nathalie than with the latter's purported affair with Bernard. If you live in New York, run, don't walk to see this on the big screen, because it won't be there long.

    An unconvincing psychosexual drama that tries to reconfigure the classic romantic triangle but winds up looking like a preposterous pretzel.

    Very interesting, and very sexy. Emmanuelle Beart is great in the lead role. Fanny Ardant also has a strong performance. Gerard Depardieu has the most famous name, but is barely in the picture. His role could have been played by just about anyone.… Expand
