France Vincent Lindon w/d Benoit Jacquot
Odd little film centering on a troubled marriage. Thirtyish wife has a problem with stealing...toys which she could easily afford. When caught she faints...begins seeing a hypnotist who helps her in many ways.
Meanwhile her psychic improvement unnerves her husband who begins to deteriorate.
The hypnotism scenes were the best I've seen on screen. The tone was right, BJ took his time, the actors were perfect. The ostensibly happy ending was a bit off-putting...it seemed we were headed toward a crash but the final scenes were sweetness and light.
Not as compelling as his previous film A Single Girl...but still quite good.
