My favourite movie of all time is Swimming Pool, Francois Ozon's pure genius.
I also loved Young & Beautiful starring Marine Vacth a fantastic actress who performs stunning sex scenes with such emotion. She also starred in L'Amant Double which was dreadful.
5x2 is not quite as great as Young & Beautiful, it's good not great, no climatic outcome, the way it's told in small scenes going backwards leaving gaps but it's a very watchable movie. It was all about Hannah for me, played by Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi who gives a brilliant performance.
It's Hannah's emotional content all portrayed by her face; abuse, infidelity, drunkenness and that dance at the end to name but a few.
One of those movies that you can watch over and over absorbing Ozon's emotional direction.
