the plot in petite coupures certainly leave this viewer dumbfound . spoilerin the space of 48hrs or so and auteuil character have an affair with a teenager and lose his wife affection and attempt to seduce scott thomas and be reject by her go on to grope yet another female character in the back of a car and then be finally shoot for his trouble . end of spoilerwha . the only save grace in this flick be kristin scott thomas . similar to charlotte rampling and she seem a natural to star in french cinema . my hope be that one day françois ozon may cast her in a part where she can show her true talent . there be some fine french film such a the remarkable le colonel chabert beg for a dvd release and yet this be the tripe that get choose . avoid this one . zzzz .
