France 2005, 109 minutes
Dir. Claude Berri
In French with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Comedy, Drama / Romance

Feat. Daniel Auteuil, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Nathalie Baye, Pierre Arditi, Miou-Miou

Aroview: Witty French comedy with an undercurrent of angst in which two philandering middle-aged husbands do their utmost to juggle fresh-faced mistresses with stale marriages.

Though perhaps a shade less successful when dabbling in dramatic elements, dir. Berri once again displays a knack for the comedic foibles and follies of relationships, with Auteuil and Gainsbourg playing nicely off one another in an admittedly rather whirlwind romance.
