10/18/2016 Anne y Pierre acaban de tener un hijo. Anne le dice a Pierre que se ha enamorado de otro hombre, pero que no quiere que cambien las cosas entre ellos porque aun lo quiere. A partir de ahi, Pierre empieza a perder su calma y su cordura por las actitudes de Anne sobre el tema. Isabelle Huppert y Daniel Auteuil son magnificos en los papeles principales dandoles credibilidad, alejandolos de los cliches y reaccionando ante las provocaciones del otro. No se necesita mucho cuando los elementos principales estan bien colocados. (Texto intencionalmente sin acentos). See more 03/22/2011 Fantastic performances make this a fine film. My goodness but Isabelle Huppert looks lovely in this. See more 10/23/2009 Together Huppert and Auteuil are amazing. Their acting and body language are heartbreaking. A truely sad, but all too common story. Worth seeing for sure. Amazing acting. See more 10/08/2009 Emotionally draining but what a beautiful film! See more 05/28/2009 Daniel Auteuil is the majestic-nosed French man I've always wanted and Isabelle Huppert is the cold bitch I've always wanted to be. Great performances, difficult to watch.
