okay and i hate to give so much away but after watch the film and there no other way to review in a way that it would make sense to the people read the review other than to tell it like it be . nothing be real except for charlotte rampling character and her publisher . the daughter character be also real but you do not see the real person until the end of the film . when charlotte go on the vacation to the french countryside to clear her head and she actually enter into the world of the character she be about to write about in her new book . the daughter and the gardener and the guy at the café be all character in her book and she be live vicariously through them and their life . that say and this be a very bold film . the soft porn element be very strong but the acting on the part of charlotte rampling be strong . she be a great actress of her generation and should be celebrate for such a powerful performance . i applaud her for her nude scene and her honest portrayal of a character we see too less of in hollywood and the sexy old woman who be not threaten by u young in . the film be about imagination and how the author use it to solve her real life issue . my favourite line from the film be when charlotte say represent hmph . award be like hemorrhoid and sooner or later and every arse get them lmao . classic .
