Excellent French Complex Love Triangle and Comedy, 8 January 2006
10/10
Author: (paulharhen@eircom.net) from Ireland

Here is a man who wants more than the trophy wife, career, house and family, and loses it all.

She, the wife, is an upper-class beautiful women. She also has given her husband access to her circle of friends too. She operates in an artificial world and is essentially lonely.

The new women on the other hand has given up, a long time ago, on meeting her "prince in shining armour".

The mixing of past, present and future, and the internal retrospective views add complexity.

It potentially can happen to us all. Hence the allure...
