Luminously headlined by Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche, French director Claire Denis’s delightful foray into romantic comedy is a sophisticated delight. It’s the story of divorced and 50ish artist Isabelle (Binoche) who, despite a history of bad choices, persists in a repeatedly waylaid search for true love. We follow her through a series of her dalliances with men of various shapes, types, ages and neuroses, with nothing in common save for the fact that they have nothing in common with Isabelle either. A Binoche tour de force, and you’ll recognize many of the potential partners (including Gerard Depardieu) in a hand picked cast. The London Guardian said “It will leave you feeling sexier and smarter” and what more could you ask from a BOFA Opening Night?
