Fanny Ardent stars as a wronged wife who handles her husband's infidelity very differently than you'd expect. She's married to Gérard Depardieu, and when she hears an incriminating voicemail on his cell phone, she confronts him and he admits he occasionally cheats. Fanny approaches a prostitute, Emmanuelle Béart, and pays her to approach her husband to see how he'll react. She's only paid to go to a particular coffee shop and ask Gérard to light her cigarette, but when Fanny asks for a full report, Emmanuelle tells her their interaction went much farther than the coffee shop.
Obviously, with information like that, and while keeping the entire situation a secret from her husband, Fanny's bound to go a little nuts. She becomes obsessed with learning every single detail about every single encounter. Every time she visits Emmanuelle, she's enthralled with graphic recounts of her husband's affair, but she doesn't confront him again. It's a very odd affair, since he's keeping it from her, and she's keeping it from him. There are tons of questions that start to appear in audiences' minds, like why does Fanny like hearing about it? Is Emmanuelle starting to fall for Gérard? There are some other questions you'll think of, but I won't spoil any plot points by listing them.
'Nathalie...' was very entertaining, and it was a very interesting take on infidelity. Pick this one for your next girls' night, if you like your movies a bit on the naughty side.
