Drama
aka: A Couple

Film Synopsis

Pierre, a humble employee in a toy factory, has been married to Anne for just three years, but already he senses they may be drifting apart.  To avoid an acrimonious break-up later on, the couple agree to separate.  Try as he might, Pierre seems to be incapable of starting an affair with another woman, not even with Véronique, one of his colleagues.  At a party given by their friends, Pierre and Anne meet up and settle their differences.  They decide to go on an alpine holiday together but their truce proves shortlived.  As Pierre flirts with Véronique, Anne allows herself to be seduced by a Don Juan type.  Realising that she can love another man, Anne makes up her mind to leave Pierre for good...

The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
The greatest French film directors
sb-img-29
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
The best of American cinema
sb-img-26
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
The best of Indian cinema
sb-img-22
Forget Bollywood, the best of India's cinema is to be found elsewhere, most notably in the extraordinary work of Satyajit Ray.
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
