Evocation Of The Evanescence
Of Love And How
Adult Relationships Evolve Over Time
Returning to a
more intimate scale following his international smash, Swimming Pool,
Francois Ozon's chamber drama is an
anatomy of a
failed marriage told in
reverse chronology, starting with the finalization
of the couple's
divorce and concluding,
literally, as
they walk of into the sunset for
their first encounter. Subverting the conventions
of cinema romance along with audience expectations of happy endings, Ozon
focuses on five
key chapters in
these two people's lives - including the first
blush of sexual attraction, the wedding
night, and the birth
of their first child - that reveal the inextricable
emotional ties between them, at the same
time they expose the inevitable
seeds of discord.
