Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Frédéric and Angèle are a married couple, he a painter, she an actress of some renown who gave up her career to be with him. She is a woman who most men desire. Struggling actors Paul and Élisabeth, neither who has any money, start to date after they meet as extras on a movie set. Shortly before Paul and Élisabeth met, Frédéric and Paul became friends after being introduced by a mutual acquaintance. By association, all four become friends, especially strengthened when Paul and Élisabeth decide to move into Frédéric and Angèle's spacious apartment in Rome. Following an attempted suicide by Frédéric, Paul reflects on the friendship between the four. Because of physical proximity, they couldn't help but become closer emotionally. So whenever something happened within one of their lives, either directly concerning one or more of the others or not, it couldn't help but affect the other three, the battle lines more often drawn not by couple but by gender.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | In the first sequences of the film, Monica Bellucci offers viewers a full nude, which has been much talked about. "When you agree to work with a director you rely totally on him, on his world. Garrel has his own universe: you can love it or not, but it belongs to him. When I decided to be part of it, I also accepted that nude scene, with generosity. It was not easy: I was in a very fragile moment of my being a woman, a month after giving birth. But in that sequence, as in the whole film, I felt protected and respected," Bellucci said. See more » |
