Synopsis:
Bertrand Beauvois, a well-known attorney, is in Monte Carlo to defend a businessman’s mother who murdered a gigolo with ties to gangsters. The businessman provides a bodyguard, Christophe, who is thorough and unsmiling. The middle-aged Beauvois is drawn to Audrey, in her 20s, free spirited, a local TV weather girl who once dated Christophe. Although Christophe warns Beauvois to stay away from Audrey, he’s hooked and spends every moment with her he’s not in court. What’s her angle: is she a plant who’ll ruin the case; is Beauvois her toy; is she digging for gold; or, is she genuine? Beauvois loves the wild sex but not her promiscuity. Has Christophe failed to protect him?

Quote:
Lil (Naomi Watts) and Roz (Robin Wright) are two lifelong friends, having grown up together as neighbors in an idyllic beach town. As adults, their sons have developed a friendship as strong as that which binds their mothers. One summer, all four are confronted by simmering emotions that have been mounting between them, and each find unexpected happiness in relationships that cross the bounds of convention.

… grew in depth to reveal the true theme that is deeply washing over every shot of the screen, the “deep blue sea”, “le moi oceanique”, the deadly ecstasy of an overwhelming sexual desire that comes into a possessing ghost strangling all reason that these human beings hypothetically have. The beach and water theme, the opening and and end shot, and the low-angle shots of the water pulling at the characters’ feet, this desire hovering within the screen waiting to pull them in are the most successful aspects of the film. The beautiful filming that is so well themed and constructed, this relaxed and ecstatic feel that transcends from the screen making the audience feel the exact erotic atmosphere in which the characters dwell and that pull of desire that comes across in the silence and in the sound of the ocean…

The post Anne Fontaine – Adore AKA Two Mothers (2013) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

From Stephen Holden review: “La Nuit des Temps, a mildly racy nightclub in the center of the sleepy French town of Belfort, is the equivalent of Pandora’s box in Anne Fontaine’s haunting erotic fable “Dry Cleaning.” Here is where Jean-Marie Kunstler (Charles Berling) and his wife, Nicole (Miou-Miou), a proper, buttoned-up French couple who have been married for 15 years, find themselves one evening watching a slithery gold-lamé-clad brother-sister drag act called the Queens of the Night lip-synch to Sylvie Vartan records.

Jean-Marie and Nicole run a dry-cleaning establishment; what better metaphor for the starchy petit bourgeois life? And when Loïc (Stanislas Merhar), the male member of the duo, shows up at their laundry one day to have his gown cleaned, a casual friendship is struck up that leads the Kunstlers back to the club, where they dance and flirt shyly with Loïc and his sister, Marylin (Mathile Seigner). One thing leads to another, and the two couples adjourn to the apartment above the Kunstlers’ shop where Loïc and his sister offer to have sex with them for money. Although Nicole is eager to play, Jean-Marie gets cold feet and abruptly calls off the swinging session.(…) “Dry Cleaning” presents the Kunstlers as a representative strait-laced couple whose impulse to dabble in dangerous erotic games lands them in deep trouble. Loïc and his “sister” (it’s left unclear what their biological relationship really is, but we get a strong sense that they have been casual lovers since their days together in an orphanage) grew up without any normal sense of boundaries. To people like the Kunstlers, who seem to embody the Gallic equivalent of family values, the brother and sister are temptation incarnate.

The film reminds you of the power and universality of the erotic imagination. Just because some people don’t radiate overt sexuality doesn’t mean that somewhere in the back of their minds they can’t imagine themselves wantonly kicking over the traces and surrendering to passion. A glimpse of the possibility is there inside all of us. “
