MA VIE SEXUELLE (1997)

ARNAUD DESPLECHIN

Plot

Chic, sensitive drama centering on the disordered life of French philosophy lecturer, Paul (Mathieu Amalric). Miles behind with his dissertation, life is further complicated by endless arguments with his girlfriend and a secret, raging passion for his best friend's lover. Sounds familiar? Quite, but Desplechin's skilful direction transforms this from being just another study of bourgeoise twentysomething angst into a spot-on slice of life.
