NOTES
Based on the book, "Fragments d'un discours amoureux" by Roland Barthes
"Two luminaries of French cinema, Claire Denis and Juliette Binoche, unite for the first time in this piercing look at the elusive nature of true love, and the extent to which we are willing to betray ourselves in its pursuit. Binoche plays Isabelle, a successful painter in Paris whose apparent independence belies what she desires most: real romantic fulfillment. Isabelle reveals deep wells of yearning, vulnerability, and resilience as she tumbles into relationships with all the wrong men. The film finds bleak humor in a cutting truth: everyone is, no matter the age, a fool for love"--Container

Special features: interviews with director Claire Denis and actor Juliette Binoche; Voilà l'enchaînement, a short film. Includes folded booklet with an essay by critic Stephanie Zacharek
