Gorgeous Look at Memory, Individual Time and Sexual Pleasure
Nice comedy...
"On a Magical Night" is a Comedy movie in which we watch a woman leaving her husband after twenty years of marriage. She moves to a hotel room where she thinks about her life and her choices, and whether they were right or wrong.
I liked this movie because it had a very unique and different plot, something that was a big surprise for me. The direction which was made by Christophe Honoré was very good and he did an excellent job on the way he presented the history behind his main characters and their connection. The interpretations of Chiara Mastroianni who played as Maria Mortemart, Benjamin Biolay who played as Richard Warrimer (40 ans) and Camille Cottin who played as Irène Haffner (40 ans) were very good and their combination worked very well. Finally, I have to say that "On a Magical Night" is an interesting comedy movie and I recommend everyone you to watch it because I am sure you will have a great time and you will laugh a lot.
The Loss of Limerence...
... and what to do about it. In the case of Maria it's to have a fling or fifteen through those years of her marriage where the spark has gone. An original take, as her lovers and her conscience amongst others, revisit over a reflective night.
