Movie Description:
Returning to a more intimate scale following his international smash, Swimming Pool, Francois Ozon crafts a chamber drama that is an anatomyof a failed marriage told in reverse chronology starting with the finalization ofthe couple`s divorce and concluding literally as they walkoff into the sunset for their first encounter. Subverting the conventions of cinema romance along with audience expectations of happy endings, Ozonfocuses on five key chapters inthese two people`s lives--including the first blush of sexualattraction, the wedding night and the birth of their firstchild--that reveal the inextricable emotional ties between them...at the same time that they expose the inevitable seeds of discord.
