L’Histoire de Richard O. (2007) - film review

Drama

Summary

The cosy, reassuringly predictable life of a couple is not for Richard O. He wants to pursue his sensual yearnings to the very limits of what is possible. So, one summer, he abandons his partner and throws himself into an adventure of sexual excess. In one month, he will meet and bed thirteen women. But what will this experience teach him? Can a human being ever be truly fulfilled, or is desire itself merely an illusion that ultimately leads nowhere?
