Helene (Catherine Deneuve), a pill-addicted anesthesiologist, is mourning the death of her boyfriend when, through a car accident she causes, she chances to meet the lethargic Gilles (Patrick Dewaere), a young man who lives for free at his mother's hotel. Gilles pursues Helene romantically, and she eventually softens up. Gilles, however, is also devoted to Bernard (Étienne Chicot), a petty crook who revels in mugging gay men. All three struggle with relationships that seem to be going nowhere.

Felix Gonzalez Jr. DVD Review Techine's observant, emotionally detached approach to storytelling ... at times seems counterintuitive in this particular movie. Aug 22, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Andre Techine fashions a somewhat far-fetched story of a detatched set of characters all yearning for connection yet making choices that push those closest to them away; Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Le duo Deneuve / Dewaere (surtout Deweare) est le seul intérêt de ce film assez décevant de Téchiné. Bof. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Good story of a tortured love but I prefer the director's recent works. Catherine Deneuve is really stylish in that movie and Dewaere is disturbed as usual. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a beautifully shot and very well-acted romantic drama. The central relationship is tumultuous, but the film has a strangely detached atmosphere, and the characters sometimes left me feeling cold. Still, it was consistently interesting and would probably benefit from more than one viewing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
