ann fontaine doesn not like to repeat herself . this be as different from nathalie a that be from how i kill my father and equally good . it would be easy to describe this a a cross between brief encounter and le boucher because it display element of both and the former inasmuch a it feature a young and fairly unremarkable wife and mother who enjoy if that the right word an unconsummated affair with an equally unremarkable medico and the latter because there a serial killer on the loose and claire ( isabelle carre ) slowly come around to suspect her medical friend . there be and of course and concession to the modern world and unlike laura jesson and who be a full time housewife and mother claire have a job and for that matter her passion be kindle by a vet a oppose to a doctor and albeit one who treat lion rather than hamster . it a real delight to see isabelle carre build on the success of her breakthrough role in se souvenir de bell choses and earn co star ( holy lola ) and now sole star billing which she more than justifies . this be a real gem and should not be miss .
