DVD Synopsis

The rise and fall of one couple's marriage goes under the microscope in this drama from French filmmaker Fran�ois Ozon. Gilles (Stephane Freis) and Marion (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi) have filed for divorce following several years of marriage, and after the judge declares their union is over, the film follows the couple through five lengthy flashbacks, presented in reverse chronological order, in which glimpses of their lives together are shown, ending with the couple meeting for the first time. As the film follows the peaks and valleys of Gilles and Marion's relationship, viewers witness a few of the many small events that make up a marriage. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Wow! VERY sexy movie! A definite R rating, but nothing hard core. A story of a marriage told in 5 scenes, played backwards. Starting with the divorce, it goes back to the signs of trouble beforehand, the pregnancy and delivery of the wife, the day of their marriage and, finally the way the two met. Stephane Freiss, while not a bad actor overall, is largely forgettable as the husband, but Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi is amazing! She is a fabulous actress who easily and naturally gives off subtle nuances. She is eminently watchable not only for her considerable physical beauty, which is well and freely displayed in this venue, but also, and more so, for her enormous talent. She is quite literally riveting! Your eyes will never leave her when she is on screen.

The story itself is well done and probably would not have worked nearly as well if the timeline had been presented in chronological order. The sets and scenery are very interesting and make me want to go to France real soon.
