The wife (Fanny Ardant) thinks her husband (Gérard Depardieu) is cheating and therefore hires a prostitute (Emmanuelle Béart) to seduce the husband and tell the wife about it. We don't really understand why. Is it masochism or something else, it's not much to care about really.
The three main actors all go on their routine, but Depardieu has lost 30 kilos since his last movie. There is no heavy passion, no heavy intellectualism either and the only character who is of some interest and some complexity is the prostitute. But the "surprise" in the end is no real surprise.
Another Paris movie about a stiff bourgeoisie feeling bad. We've seen it before.
