This film is totally unworthy of Isabelle Huppert. I can see her in anything, and usually I am astonished by her acting, but along with ' Ma Mere ' this must be one of her worst films. I have not seen all her films, so I reserve judgement. If it has any resemblance to the story of ' Madame Bovary ' it lies in the nature of boredom. Flaubert's novel depicts boredom and dreams and this film is pure and utter boredom in itself. I will give no spoilers as I would be too bored to give away the tedious plot, which in itself is pitifully thin. I thought she was dragged down by the situations the director put her in and frankly the other actors were not on form. I saw this on France 3 and I had hopes and the 1 that I give it is for myself and seeing it to its inconsequential end.
