Three couples share a large house in the country, along with Cécile, a babysitter, and Hélène, their guest. The relationships between these disparate individuals are far from straightforward. Pierre has been faithful to his wife Ariane, but she has been pursuing an affair with Matthieu, who is married to Sabine. Lena is married to Bertrand, but, in his absence, she has taken a young lover, Marc. She also has a son, Michel. Hélène returned to the house in the hope of finding the man she fell in love with 25 years ago.

The post Michel Deville – Aux Petits Bonheurs AKA Life’s Little Treasures (1994) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
A multi-faceted film based on Raymond Jean’s novel “La Lectrice”. Constance (Miou-Miou) reads the novel aloud in bed to her lover. Inspired by the story of Marie, a woman who advertises her services as a reader of literature, Constance decides to do the same. Here the film takes on a kaleidoscopic effect as the lives of Constance and Marie become merged, making it hard to distinguish what is real and what is fantasy. This structure is further complicated when the lives of Constance’s clients become tangled with the stories she reads. The film is interspersed with readings from well known literary sources as diverse as, amongst others, Baudelaire, Duras, Tolstoy, Lewis Carroll and de Sade’s “120 days…”

Jean-Louis Trintignant’s sinister yet subtle performance as a man who gives the most insane proof of love to his wife enlivens this adaptation of the novel Deep Water by Patricia Highsmith. In public, Vic Allen (Trintignant) puts up with his wife Mélanie’s (Isabelle Huppert) amorous games, showing an outward attitude of acceptance. However, he scares away one of her prospective lovers by telling the poor guy that he killed one of his predecessors. In fact, he did not, and soon the actual perpetrator is found. Later, when Vic feels that Mélanie is becoming too seriously involved, he actually resorts to murders. Despite her ever-increasing suspicion, Mélanie finds it impossible to prove his guilt.

The post Michel Deville – Nuit d’été en ville aka Summer Night in Town (1990) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world, and the most alluring. As soon as Vincent sets eyes on this remarkable work of art he knows that he must possess it, which is not so unlikely as it seems because he is the most accomplished burglar in the world. Stealing valuable paintings is something that Vincent specialises in, so walking off with Da Vinci’s portrait of the woman with the inscrutable smile ought to be a doddle. First he needs a pretext for his frequent visits to the Louvre Museum, and this he obtains by getting himself taken on as an assistant to the picture framer Monsieur Lemercier. He also takes the trouble to strike up a friendly rapport with the man whose job it is to guard the coveted painting. How providential that, like Vincent, he should have a keen interest in chess.

Whilst dodging the unwelcome advances of Lemercier’s temperamental wife Titine, our hero discovers love – in the form of one of the residents of the brothel opposite his present lodgings. A stunning blonde, Nicole is as devilishly enchanting as La Gioconda and just as hard to get your hands on – as Vincent discovers when he tries to chat her up, unsuccessfully. Never one to give up, even when the odds are against him, Vincent agrees to meet up with her in three day’s time, at an inn near Avignon. This gives him just enough time to pull off the crime of the century – the theft of the Mona Lisa! Meanwhile, Nicole will be away in Normandy, on tour as an assistant to a stage magician named Merlin. Stealing the painting proves to be easier than Vincent had thought – he manages to distract the guard with a game of chess.

Leaving behind his usual signature, Romeo, the enterprising burglar is soon making a neat getaway, not knowing that he is being watched by two suspicious looking individuals. Clearly intent on recovering the painting for their own advantage, these two give chase and end up taking Nicole prisoner. She manages to escape and soon joins up with Vincent, who has the painting safely stowed away in his red suitcase. Hotly pursued by the police and some opportunistic crooks, Vincent and Nicole make a desperate bid for freedom, but through a series of mishaps the priceless artwork goes stray and finally ends up back where it started. Vincent doesn’t let this one failure get him down. He is still at liberty and has found himself a spunky accomplice who is every bit as valuable to him as the Mona Lisa. From now on, Vincent’s nefarious exploits will be signed Romeo and Juliet!

— James Travers.
