Two adulterous lovers go from pillow talk to possible murder in this sexy, brain-teasing thriller based on a novel by Georges Simenon. Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) stars (and directs) as Julien, a middle-aged salesman, embroiled in a steamy love affair with a married woman (Stéphanie Cléau), who suddenly finds himself caught up in a police investigation, but what exactly happened unfolds in an elliptical style with puzzle pieces that only gradually reveal themselves. In French with English subtitles. With Léa Drucker. Writers: Mathieu Amalric, Stéphanie Cléau. Director: Mathieu Amalric. (France 2014) 75 min.
