Sinekatalog’s take
Patrice Chéreau's chamber drama follows a wealthy 1912 Parisian whose wife leaves him a note and returns the same evening. Isabelle Huppert and Pascal Greggory are icy and raw in a stylised, black-and-white study of marriage and humiliation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
