In such films as Wild Reeds and My Favorite Season, André Téchiné has demonstrated a lyrical gift for revealing the marvelously complex nature of our humanity. In his fleet and mysterious new film, set against a seductive Venetian backdrop, he introduces us to a gallery of wonderfully unpredictable characters: a blocked mystery writer who weds a bisexual beauty many years younger than himself; a young ex-con he hires to trail his wife’s every move; the wife’s ex-lover, a woman detective whom the writer lures out of retirement when his daughter goes missing. Starring André Dussollier and Carole Bouquet, Téchiné’s sensuous, slippery tale leads us down the twisty tunnels of the heart.
