5x2 plot

After a marriage that lasted for years, Marion and Gilles sit with the solicitor to sort out the details of their divorce. It gradually becomes clear how it has come to be that the once in love couple stoically split their possessions and their lives in two. The story takes a step back in time in five episodes and shows important moments in the lives of Marion and Gilles: an evening when they receive friends and the conversation takes an unexpected turn, Gilles' indifferent attitude when Marion gives birth, the wedding party when they both walk around beaming and looking forward to the wedding night, until the moment when they give each other looks in love during a holiday in Italy.

Beautiful film with a beautiful lead role by Sarkozy's sister-in-law Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, but the interpretation by Stéphane Freiss is also worth mentioning.
The chronology of the story gives a very special cachet. In each of the five episodes (divorce, visit with friends, childbirth, marriage, acquaintance) something goes wrong.
The question is whether the sum of episodes 2 to 4 is sufficient for the conclusion in episode 1, , in which the necessary doubts resound.

A successful film that starts at the end.
An ending that leads us to the beginning where it becomes clear how far it could have come.
Especially men around my age who are engaged in an engagement, marriage and children will be able to put themselves in the story very well.
It clearly shows how to prevent most things. (Although of course this never gives the full 100% guarantee within a marriage).
The rape scene was very intense and I almost wanted to fast forward to the next chapter.
I also share the opinion that some things have been left behind that Ozon could have done more with.
It's a shame, but we don't take this too seriously.
You get a lot in return.

An absolute must!!

Romance in reverse with an emphasis on human frailties. Although the screenplay is a bit shocking and may not be acceptable to everyone, I still note a very strong performance from the actors. Valerie Bruni Tedeschi is cut out for such romantic, naughty, sometimes voluptuous roles and does an excellent job.
