CŒURS

by Alain RESNAIS

Cast: Sabine Azéma, Isabelle Carré, Laura Morante, Pierre Arditi, André Dussollier

Year: 2006 Run time: 120 mins

SYNOPSIS: Established as one of French cinema's great masters, Alain Resnais has made one of his most accomplished films to date with this sparkling adaptation of Alan Ayckbourn's acclaimed comedy of manners. The film follows the lives of six characters whose lives and stories intersect:Nicole (Laura Morante) and her unemployed partner Dan (Lambert Wilson); their estate agent Thierry (André Dussollier) who attempts to charm his alluring but saintly assistant Charlotte (Sabine Azéma), while his sister (Isabelle Carré) looks for love with the help of Lionel (Pierre Arditi), a bartender who hides a secret heartbreak. Exploring the themes of loneliness and longing with great humour and compassion, Resnais artfully interweaves an intricate mosaic of scenes into a wonderfully entertaining and satisfying whole.
