Rating:  - Sweet illusion, don't ever become reality!
Francois Ozon shows us an original proposal around the intimacies of a couple who started so promisingly a magnificent relationship, but along the road they will meet one each other and the final result will lead them to an expected painful finale.
Valeria Tedeschi was intense and fabulous in this film, hovered by musical memories of old Italian songs that present us the story through a smart flash back, where the end of the movie was their genesis as couple.

Rating:  - A Letdown
Good French cinema undeniably exists (the Polish-French collaboration Double vie de Veronique ranks among my favorite films) but from my own personal experience, a disproportionate amount of movies made in France turn out as puzzling disappointments. Perhaps it's that the sexual-spiritual intensity of so many of the relationships that are captured in French literature and film contain too much internal feeling to translate well to a foreign audience. I say this with what I hope is other than a hidebound, ... Read More
Rating: - 5x2
"5x2" (Five Times Two) is written & directed by Francois Ozon, who previously made the English language film "Swimming Pool." That film was a noir-ish murder mystery with lots of sex. A lot of people didn't like it, a lot of people loved it. I fall into the second category. In 5x2 he takes a step back as far as entertainment, but takes a step forward in realism. This movie isn't very original, the story's been done before and the reversal thing's been done hundreds of times...But the dialogue and events ... Read More
Rating: - Looking Back
François Ozon (Swimming Pool, Under the Sand, 8 Women, Water Drops on Burning Rocks, etc) is a French director with a style of telling stories that is entirely his own. He seems to revel in challenging the audience to participate intellectually and emotionally in the common stories through which we daily walk. He doesn't strive for 'the big moment' or startling revelations: he is content to place a tale before us to encourage us to re-think our own existence, our parallel lives with those of his characters. ...

Rating: - this is a pretty good french movie
i've seen some of the totally backwards styled movies, this one is about how a marriage and relationship diluted gradually. there's no obvious reasons but a feeling and a shadow that both of the couple knows that their marriage would gradually come to an end. this is not a pretentious french movie, neither great nor bad, watchable but somehow nothing special. only one thing really run true: a marriage or a relationship is such a fragile existence that sometimes does not need any excuse to hang on or go on any longer. ...
