3 Hearts

"3 Hearts (3 Coeurs) is a French romantic drama that focuses on the delicacy of contained emotions and the twists and turns of fate. Directed by Benoît Jacquot (of Farewell, My Queen), the film also features a trio of heavyweights as protagonists: Benoît Poelvoorde, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Chiara Mastroianni. The story begins with a chance meeting between two strangers, who fall in love but part without exchanging contact details. When he finds love again, he has no idea that it is the sister of the woman he met before. From then on, the film delves into a subtle and melancholic love triangle, which talks about desire, guilt and the crossroads of life. An engaging and elegant story, with restrained and touching performances, worthy of contemporary French cinema."
