L'économie du couple (2016)
(After Love)
Country: BEL/FR
Technical: col/2.35:1 100m
Director: Joachim Lafosse
Cast: Bérénice Bejo, Cédric Kahn, Marthe Keller
Synopsis:
An estranged couple and parents of twin girls find life together both rancorous and yet necessary, since the father cannot afford to take a place of his own.
Review:
Unusual in that it takes a long hard look at the financial straits of any marital split, even a common law one such as this, and does so while observing an almost exclusive unity of place inside their well-appointed apartment. The performances are raw and pregnant with stoked up irritation, but the characters' intransigence becomes ultimately wearing, albeit the whole point.
