Juliette Binoche delivers a luminous performance in the deliciously witty, sensuously romantic new film from acclaimed director Claire Denis. Isabelle (Binoche) is a divorced Parisian painter searching for another shot at love, but refusing to settle for the parade of all-too-flawed men who drift in and out of her life. There’s a caddish banker (Xavier Beauvois) who, like many of her lovers, happens to be married; a handsome actor (Nicolas Duvauchelle) who’s working through his own hang-ups; and a sensitive fellow artist (Alex Descas) who’s skittish about commitment. What reads like a standard romantic comedy premise is transformed, in the hands of master filmmaker Denis, into something altogether deeper, more poignant, and perceptive about the profound mysteries of love. (In French with English subtitles).

“DENIS AND BINOCHE HAVE MADE A FILM THAT’S BOTH SMART AND SEXY, imbuing new excitement and wonder into the emotional connections that define us all”-Joe Blessing, The Playlist
“PERFECTLY SMALL RATHER THAN SLIGHT, AND RADIENTLY CARRIED BY JULIETTE BINOCHE—in a light-touch tour de force to be filed along side her work in Kiarostami’s Certified Copy”-Guy Lodge, Variety
