As a rather naughty slice of erotica it works brilliantly, with Ardant and Béart making a fascinating partnership.

Consensus: A seductive French import that portrays adult issues of jealousy and betrayal with strong lead performances and considerable French charm.
Theatrical Release:Apr 14, 2006 Limited
Synopsis: Catherine (Fanny Ardant) is an attractive woman with a great career and a seemingly solid marriage to Bernard (Gérard Depardieu), her husband of 25 years. Their lives seem to be going well until... Catherine (Fanny Ardant) is an attractive woman with a great career and a seemingly solid marriage to Bernard (Gérard Depardieu), her husband of 25 years. Their lives seem to be going well until Catherine discovers that Bernard is having an affair. Realizing that she does not really know her husband or what he really wants, Catherine hires Marlene (Emmanuelle Béart), a beautiful prostitute, to act as “Nathalie,” a woman who will seduce Bernard and extract answers to the questions that are obsessing her. Instead of the traditional man/woman relationship, what begins is a mesmerizing relationship between two women. Expecting to be in control of the situation, Catherine meets with Marlene on a regular basis. However, what she learns soon takes her into a world that not only startles her but begins to change her. A woman’s take on the classic love triangle, Nathalie is written and directed by Anne Fontaine with her usual flair and intelligence. -- © Wellspring Media [More]

Reviews for Nathalie
A decent import with a nice ending -– and you couldn't ask for better acting talent.
Underwhelming ending and all, Nathalie... remains a powerful exploration of jealousy and desire.
It isn't engaging enough to really work and the direction lacks the imagination that might have breathed some life into it.
