An astonishingly accomplished film - Auteuil and Huppert have done nothing better. Auteuil's performance as Pierre is a measured descent into madness. As an ageing soixante-huitard with a love-rival, he tries to hold onto the idealism of his relationship with Huppert's Anne, succeeding only in compounding the confusion and hurt inevitable through his own unchartered humanism. Huppert is the perfect foil for this, a discreetly neurotic idealist herself, trying to conquer her own confusion beneath the surface and simply increasing Pierre's frustration. An acting masterclass.
Vincent provides unblinking coverage of the story as it, literally, unravels. His contributions are subtle: Vertigoesque colour symbolism that informs the psychology of the story (he uses blue, grey and dowdy colours for the men and brighter colours, predominantly red for the women) and sparing music, only topping and tailing the piece with the theme of a suite of variations - a quiet but entirely apposite gesture. Its realism, violence, vitality and unselfconscious intelligence are supremely marshaled in what must be the finest French film I've seen. 9/10
