Two - An Amazing Couple (2002)
(Un couple épatant)
Country: FR/BEL
Technical: col 97m
Director: Lucas Belvaux
Cast: Ornella Muti, François Morel, Valérie Mairesse, Dominique Blanc, Gilbert Melki
Synopsis:
A company lawyer about to undergo a routine surgical procedure is stricken with middle-aged panic and is furtive with his wife. She consequently infers that he is being unfaithful and has him followed, increasing his paranoia...
Review:
Following the lives of characters ancillary to the first part of Belvaux's trilogy, this lighter film is really very much like a Rohmer comedy, with middle class characters labouring under misapprehensions and a music track of chamber instruments, prominent among which is the clarinet. It's all rather jolly next to the gloom of the On the Run, and we see the police roadblocks as before, but there is surprisingly no talk among the characters of the explosive action rocking the city, and the quid pro quos get a bit wearisome after a while so that one is left yearning for the blinkers to drop.
