Description

Juliette Binoche reunites with Claire Denis (Beau Travail) for a low-key Parisian romantic comedy. Need we say more? OK, maybe a little. Binoche radiantly portrays the recently divorced painter, Isabelle, who finds herself asking the big questions: What do I want? What will make me happy? Is it the arrogant banker, the snobbish artist, the sexy actor, the elegant Marc, or the mysterious stranger? This sunny, funny portrayal of middle-aged love and sex is uplifting, sophisticated, and way too smart and nuanced to succumb to clichés. As Isabelle navigates through the complexities of sex and relationships, we get a thoroughly modern, thoroughly French take on feminism, love, and heartbreak in the 21st century. Oh, and Gérard Depardieu plays a fortune teller. Now there really is nothing left to say—except get your tickets.
