- DirectorLuc BondyMarie-Louise BischofbergerStarsIsabelle HuppertLouis GarrelBulle OgierLuc Bondy's final feature film as director draws talent from both stage and screen to bring Pierre de Marivaux's 1737 play into 21st century Paris.

Secrets and lies accumulate as Dorante and his accomplice, Araminte's manservant Dubois (Yves Jacques), manipulate not only the good-hearted Araminte, but also her friend and confidante, Marton (Manon Combes). Dorante, by turns pitiable and proficient, but always deferential to his social better, walks a fine line in his quest to arouse an equal desire in the object of his affections. Bulle Ogier delivers a memorable turn as Araminte's mother, who suspects the young man's intentions, but wants to push her daughter into the arms of an aged, hard-up Count (Jean-Pierre Malo). Filmed in part on-site at the Théâtre de l'Odéon-and shot during the daytime, while the same cast performed the play there at night-the film blurs the distinction between stage and screen, offering a new turn on this classic take on the psychology of love.

The first third is reminiscent of Chacun Cherche son Chat (1996) by Cédric Klapisch, in the neighbourhood flick feeling and for allowing our intrusion into the midst of a quaint urban living corner. But it certainly is a movie in an of itself. Story wraps up well.
