La Separation (1994)
DIRECTOR: Christian Vincent
CAST: Daniel Auteuil; Jérôme Deschamps; Karin Viard; Laurence Lerel; Louis Vincent
SYNOPSIS
One night
at the cinema, Pierre reaches for out to take Anne's hand. She is annoyed and
rebuffs him. He feels rejected. This moment begins the story of the disintegration
of a couple... Pierre and Anne live in Paris with their two-year-old child Louis.
After the night in the cinema it is clear that Anne is distracted and the small
gulf between them seems to widen as time goes on. Lunches, evenings out with friends,
there's obvoiusly something wrong. One night after a party, Anne tells Pierre
that she is in love with another man. Although her confession is not surprising,
Pierre's reaction is. He seems to accept it as a fact of life and refrains from
asking the most burning questions. However, as Anne continues to see the
other man, Pierre's feelings become more violent and it begins to dawn on them
that some thing intangible has happened that can't be put right.
NOTE
A
very profound view on a separating couple after long-term
relationship, in a very
French way. Many shots were taken by two cameras simultaneously, in which both
Isabelle and Daniel Auteuil give impeccable performances.
It's painful to watch
them getting apart. - FORUM

It's like chamber music with a perfect
accord among all the musicians. It's a work about precision, a constant research
of the right note. Each time one believed to have found it, the surpise was that
one could still go further in this research, to obtain a note even more just than
that one had already found. This joyness of work, very exciting for Daniel Auteuil
and me to seek with Christian Vincent in that manner...
