I haven't seen any Claire Denis movies before now, but "Un beau soleil intérieur" ("Let the Sunshine In" in English) is a good start. Juliette Binoche plays a woman searching for true love among a number of men. All of them have their issues, and she presses on. I interpret it to mean that you'll never find the perfect match, so you'll have to settle for what fits you most appropriately.

Worth the time.

If you remember the recording by Jonny Ray, from the fifties and cited above, I need say no more but chances are you won't so I will. Off the top of my head I can think of only one reasonably entertaining movie by Clare Denis and that was Vendredi Soir (Friday Night) in which, during a transport strike, motorists are urged via radio to offer lifts to pedestrians; Valerie Lemercier accordingly picks up Vincent Lindon and the two complete strangers wind up in the sack. Sixteen years Denis is at it again albeit Juliette Binoche doesn't stop with one man but is on a mission. Binoche was, of course, the selling point and she doesn't let us down, turning in a virtuoso performance. For reasons best known to Ms. Denis, Gerard Depardieu, now resembling a small house, is wheeled out in the last frame contributing only ennui.One for the pseud set.

I found myself thinking the whole time "Well, just goes to show women always go for the assholes." She's a successful artist, beautiful and smart, and goes for married men and jerks every single time. There's one guy who is single and clearly adores her, but she blows him off every time they bump into each other. I can't even remember how the movie ends. I hated most of her boyfriends. An ex-husband shows up at some point and there is an argument. All in all, nothing really happens, nothing is resolved. At least that i can remember, anyway. I probably just sat through whole movie because I love looking at Juliette Binoche. An utterly forgettable movie.
