The film is about a couple going through the doldrums of their marriage. Actually, lower than the doldrums.
The main characters are unredeeming. The supporting cast is OK, if somewhat wooden. For the most part - the film is about the disintegrated relationship between the two main character, the writer husband and his (former) dancer wife. Actually - that's the only thing this film is about.
While there is improvement in their relationship over the period of the movie - it isn't a dramatic change.
I can't help but wonder if this film was shot in order to give the stars somewhat of a working vacation in France. Also - the gist of the film somewhat mirrors the frustrations going on in the marriage of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the time.
Thankfully we borrowed this title from our local library. I would have been disappointed in myself had I have paid to rent or purchase it.
