This film does an amazing job showing a man who literally cannot give of himself emotionally. Daniel Autueil is fantastic.

Everything simmering under the surface is always done best by the French and Un Coeur En Hiver is no different; Beart is mesmerizing and worthy of all the turmoil

Kind of frustrating. Like a not as good version of Eric Rohmer. But not bad.

Me quedÃ¨ con la duda con el personaje de Daniel Auteuil, quien en su sano juicio dice no a Emmanuelle Beart. Un corazÃ²n en invierno es una tÃ¬pica pelÃ¬cula francesa que se adentra en el estudio de sus personajes con bonita mÃ¹sica de Ravel.

How very French to dabble in the affairs of the threes --the beautiful Emannuelle Beart, the stoic Daniel Auteuil, and the lover who's quite forgettable. Sautet tells the story delicately through Ravel's sonata, and this part is beautifully done. Definitely an arthouse sort of film you wouldn't want to watch on a rainy day.
