Synopsis
Un Certain Regard, 2015 Festival de Cannes
- "Seriously, Julien, if I were suddenly free, could you free
yourself too?"- "Say again?"
A man and a woman, secretly in love, alone in a room. They desire
each other, want each other, even bite each other. In the
afterglow, they share a few sweet nothings. At least,
the man seems to believe they were nothing. Now under
investigation by the police and the courts, Julien fails to find
the words.
"Life is different when one lives it and peels it off
afterwards".
What happened? What is he accused of?
David Stratton - "For his second feature film as director, Mathieu
Amalric has turned to a book by crime writer Georges Simenon about
a passionate small-town love affair that ends in death and
retribution. Amalric himself plays Julien, a married man who
embarks on a clandestine affair with Esther (Stéphanie
Cléau). Lovers of well-made thriller and tasteful eroticism
will be amply rewarded by Amalric's stylish and intelligent
treatment."
