Nathalie


Only the French could take a premise like this and build a love story around it.
A middle age woman (Fanny Ardant) realizes her husband (Gerard Depardieu) is being unfaithful. So she hires a stripper-prostitute(most beautiful woman in the world Emmanuelle Beart) to seduce him and begin and affair. After each sexual encounter, she meets with the prostitute and the hooker tells her explicitly about what she did with her husband. Wife and hooker begin creating a strange bond. This is an interesting movie, nothing great, but certainly unusual. And in the midst of something so sordid, there is a certain humanity and even sweetness. Check it out.
