Synopsis

Daniel, the disheveled, tormented young Parisian at the film’s center, is adored by his long-suffering lover Sonia, clung to by his emotionally needy best friend, and stalked by a mysterious admirer who invades Daniel’s space and suddenly professes his love.

Our take

French director Patrice Chéreau’s final film attests to his cinema: one exploring the intensity of passions and the complexity of human relationships. A troubled man, his lover, and an enamored stalker form the trio of this wrenching drama, starring Romain Duris and Charlotte Gainsbourg!
