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 08/22/2008
Techine's observant, emotionally detached approach to storytelling ... at times seems counterintuitive in this particular movie. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/14/2020 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; See more 09/08/2010 Le duo Deneuve / Dewaere (surtout Deweare) est le seul intérêt de ce film assez décevant de Téchiné. Bof. See more 10/28/2009 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. See more 08/10/2008 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. See more Read all reviews
