5X2

Movie Description:
Returning to a more intimate scale following his international smash, Swimming Pool, Francois Ozon crafts a chamber drama that is an anatomy offailed marriage told in reverse chronology, starting with the final- ization of the couple`s divorce and concluding, literally, as they walkoff into the sunset for their first encounter. Subverting the conventions of happy endings Ozon focuses on five key chapters in these two people`slives--including the first blush of sexual attraction, the wedding night and the birth of their first child-- that reveal the inextricable emotionalties between them...at the sametime that they expose the inevitable seeds of discord.
